FPD Cardiovascular System

BRANSIST safire HF9/HC9 Slender

The most important consideration for cardiovascular system used for PCI procedures is the image quality that accurately captures and visualizes the target area. Shimadzu has developed the direct-conversion FPD based on a concept completely different from all other conventional designs. Exceptional image quality achieved only by THE POWER OF SAFIRE has just arrived.

Outstanding Image quality achieved only by a Next- Generation X-ray Detector

Direct-conversion detection, which converts X-rays directly to electrical signals, eliminates the blurring that results from the scattered light generated in conventional imaging processes, realizing "pure digital imaging".
It also features the smallest pixel size in its class - 150µm - to provide fluoroscopy / radiography images with exceptional visibility.
The FPD has a 9 x 9 inch field of view, which accommodates steep cardiac angles and also provides an optimal view of peripheral regions.

State-of-the-Art Digital Technology Ensures High-Speed Response

Almost as important as image quality is the speed of image processing operations, which is an extremely important factor for stress-free PCI procedures.
Due to the improved operability and response time of the BRANSIST safire, in respect to both hardware and software.
In particular, it uses a multiprocessor and its multitasking feature to improve the workflow of parallel processing and the mirroring feature to improve the security of image data.

Fast & Easy C-arm operation

The CyberGrip allows free manipulation of the 25 degree per second high-speed C-arm with one hand, the proprietary Direct Memory feature, which remembers C-arm angles, and IVR NEO, which integrates all the image processing functions necessary for PCI procedures.
These are all combined on the bedside controller to allow X-ray technologists the freedom to perform PCI procedures in any manner they choose.

Upgraded Digital Filter Provides Improved Visibility

To make viewing the ultra-high-definition image from the direct conversion FPD even easier, Shimadzu now has equipped the upgraded digital filter (Power RSM Digital Filter) with image processing parameters optimized based on Shimadzu's extensive experience at clinical sites.
Compared to previous FPD filters, this new filter maintains the same high visibility levels offered by conventional FPDs, but is able to provide an easier-to-see image by improving the graininess of the fluoroscopic image and making the differences in background contrast even more uniform.

Introducing the optimal bi-plane system for PCI procedures, based on Shimadzu's superior direct-conversion flat panel detector (FPD)

Shimadzu's direct-conversion FPDs and advanced image processor SUREengine provide clear imagesfor optimum visibility during PCI procedures.
Multiprocessors allow for dynamic reference imaging for PCI support. Slender C-arms, together with an ultra-compact design, ensure easy bi-plane positioning.
Developed with a priority on treatment, the superior image quality and operating environment of the BRANSIST safire cardiovascular system provide powerful support for the latest PCI procedures.

Equipped with a Next-Generatin X-ray Detector to Create the Ideal Imaging ChainDirect-conversion detection, which converts X-rays directly to electrical signals, eliminates the blurring that results from the scattered light generated in conventional imaging processes.
It also featurs the smallest pixel size in its class - 150µm - to provide fluoroscopy/radiography images with exceptional visibility.
The FPD has a 9 x 9 inch field of view, which accommodates sleep cardiac angles and also provides an optimal view of peripheral regions.

Flexible C-Arm SettingsThe base of the frontal C-arm features a triple-pivot design that allows easy movement of the C-arm to a wide variety of positins. In particular, the Hand Access feature moves the floor-mounted frontal C-arm laterally, prallel to the table and is especially useful for both transradial and brachial catheterizations. Furthermore, the Multi Position setting provides a large space at the head, which makes approaching the patient and handling equipment easy, even when the units are used as a bi-plane system.
