Angiography is the imaging of blood vessels using contrast-enhanced X-rays. The X-ray image shows the vessel interior (vessel lumen) filled with contrast medium. The image information shown is purified (subtracted) from overlays by bones and non-transparent organ structures. The images of the blood vessels, which are free of superimpositions due to digital image processing, can be evaluated diagnostically or used for therapeutic vascular intervention.

Examination and therapy spectrum:

  • Examinations of the entire vascular system, so-called catheter angiographies, e.g. pelvic leg, kidney, neck angiographies
  • Treatment of arterial circulatory disorders of the extremities (PAVK) using balloon catheters, excimer laser assisted angioplasty (ELA)
  • Performance of Oncological interventions

Sie­mens ARTIS icono

Siemens Artis icono Innovative imaging for precise diagnoses
With the Artis icono, our patients benefit from exceptional image quality. Thanks to the HIGH Definition detector technology and the possibility of 3D imaging, we obtain the clearest, high-resolution images, which greatly facilitate the diagnosis and performance of interventions. 3D diagnostics and intervention planning are supported by Siemens' advanced software, such as the syngo X Workplace, which allows image data to be analyzed quickly and accurately.

Precision and flexibility in one system
The Artis icono from Siemens is an imaging system specifically designed to provide you with the highest precision and flexibility when performing minimally invasive procedures. Equipped with the latest fluoroscopy and X-ray technology, the system delivers razor-sharp images that enable precise control and execution of treatments - both in diagnostic imaging and in treatment planning.

Optimized patient care
The Artis icono not only ensures outstanding image quality, but also optimized patient care. The ergonomic design of the system maximizes patient comfort during the examination and procedure. The system offers a high degree of flexibility in positioning the patient and the device so that you can achieve the best possible imaging in every situation.

Thanks to minimal radiation exposure and advanced dose reduction technologies, patients receive a safe examination without compromising on image quality. The Artis icono ensures that your patients experience the procedure as safely and comfortably as possible.

Automation and AI-supported functions
Thanks to advanced automation technologies and the integration of artificial intelligence (AI), the entire process - from image acquisition to evaluation - becomes more efficient and faster. Features such as automatic dose adjustment, image processing automation and real-time analysis tools help to ensure that you receive high image quality at all times with minimal radiation exposure.MAGNETOM Vida 3Tesla with AI - The future of magnetic resonance imaging.

Sie­mens Ar­tis Phe­no1
Robot-based angiography system

The world's first imaging system, Artis Pheno, was installed at our institute. Thanks to this technology, patients with severe health limitations can be treated with new surgical methods from which they were previously excluded.

It is both extremely gentle and extremely flexible, thereby enabling patients with physical limitations to access minimally invasive surgical methods. In addition, the technology has up to four times improved imaging and a completely new system to avoid germ contamination.
