The Wellington Hospital in North London, an independent hospital, has installed an Artis zee ceiling-mounted system from Siemens Healthcare for use in general angiography and other interventions.
The new system has also allowed the hospital to carry out vertebroplasties for the first time, using the Artis zee as a guide during the minimally invasive procedure. The Artis zee provides 2D, 3D or 4D imaging at a low dose. Staff at the hospital have also undergone training on the application, syngo Dyna CT, which will enhance the capabilities of the system. This application enables cross-sectional imaging, providing additional soft tissue images to improve patient management during interventions. The extra information reduces the need for pre-procedural CT scans as it provides the necessary images on the table. The Wellington Hospital is using the application in preparation for the insertion of cerebral coils.
