The Artis zee MP offers rapid image acquisition and post-processing capabilities, helping to improve departmental workflow. It is suited to interventional procedures and features high contrast resolution to improve accuracy during image-guided procedures at low dose. Equipped with all the latest CARE (Combined Applications to Reduce Exposure) features and CLEAR post processing technology as standard, it supports excellent image quality at the lowest achievable doses. In addition to the low dose acquisition, the Artis zee MP offers high quality diagnostic images and its ergonomically designed controls enable users to operate it smoothly and easily.
The Artis zee MP joins two existing imaging systems from Siemens Healthcare at Tunbridge Wells Hospital. The decision to add to the Siemens portfolio was based on the strong existing relationship with Siemens, staff familiarity with the existing technology and its reliability.
"We are really happy with our new Artis zee MP from Siemens Healthcare, the applications support has been excellent and we have received regular upgrades," states Kathy Roberts, Radiology Clinical Services Manager at Tunbridge Wells Hospital at Pembury. "Our patient doses have been significantly reduced because of Siemens dose saving technology and the diagnostic images are of high quality. The system is easy to use and for the first time we are able to reference overlay, improving the precision of our stent positioning."
"We are very pleased that Tunbridge Wells Hospital is seeing such tangible dose reductions and improved image quality from the new Artis zee MP," states Paul Vaughan, Regional Sales Manager at Siemens Healthcare. "We’re delighted that staff have found the system user-friendly and a valuable addition to the hospital’s facilities."
