Siemens application adds 360 degree rotation to Artis zeego

Siemens Healthcare has released the syngo DynaCT 360 application for the Artis zeego robotic interventional imaging system.

The software allows the angiography system to rotate 360 degrees in six seconds to provide CT-like slice images with a field of view of 35 by 25 centimeters, according to Malvern, Pa.-based Siemens. Prior to the new application, the C-arm required 16 seconds to achieve the soft tissue coverage needed for abdominal interventions.
