The table
The Stille ImagiQ2 surgical table complements the Veradius Unity perfectly. The ImagiQ2 is built on a unique carbon fiber table top design that offers significantly reduced radiation attenuation. The polymer structure allows X-ray to pass through with excellent transparency, which enables the user to manage dose levels for patients and clinicians without compromising image quality. Freedom of movement with True Free Float®, gives Dr. Kassab the ability to move the table laterally, longitudinally, and diagonally with just the touch of a button. “This gives the operator the freedom to easily move the table in all directions and to maintain the C-arm at its place throughout the procedure,” says Dr. Kassab. ImagiQ2’s ultra-slim design and super-low base enhances access, allows the Veradius Unity C-arm to be easily moved under it into critical positions.
Managing dose levels effectively during vascular interventions is a key priority. “Two of the most important elements of any procedure are radiation dose and outcome,” insists Dr. Kassab. “With the Veradius Unity/ImagiQ2 combination, you don’t have to radiate much because you can control and manage all the technical aspects of the procedure. In my opinion, this is as important for the operators as for the patients.” The Veradius Unity provides a pre-set list of acquisition settings grouped by type of exam. It’s easy to select the relevant procedure and anatomical area from the list. The system then automatically applies the selected parameters to get the required image quality at significant X-ray dose efficiency. Manual adjustments can be made as needed. In addition, there is a full range of radiation management features that allow low X-ray dose for lengthy endovascular/surgical procedures, while providing superb image quality.
