ARCADIS Avantic Clinical workflow at its best

ARCADIS Avantic’s software is designed to support theentire clinical workflow, from patient registration to imagedocumentation.

Optimal workflow for patient registrationWith syngo, ARCADIS Avantic supports all DICOM 3.0functions, seamlessly integrating your data managementprocess into the HIS/RIS world, beginning with patientregistration. All patient data may be transformed directlyfrom the hospital information system to an onboard worklist.Individual patient data may be quickly queried from thenetwork as well. Patient pre-registration significantly reducesyour OR prep time. ARCADIS Avantic also fully allowsemergency registrations when time is limited.

Optimal workflow during examinationsARCADIS Avantic supports the full range of X-ray-basedapplications in the OR. The “Examination“ task card providesyou with a large range of medical applications. The specificprogram within these applications is intuitively selectedusing VPA (Virtual Patient Anatomy). Simply click on theVPA body region to be examined to select the appropriate,optimized application program. Up to 200 dedicated, appli-cation-specific programs are available. In addition, ARCADISAvantic's dose rate concept allows you to precisely adjustthe dose to the required level.

Tube Load IndicatorThe tube load indicator shows the current status of yourtube load. This helps for a better allocation of availableheat capacity and a clear indication of relative tube load aswell the remaining availability prior to dose reduction.

DiamentorAn optional Diamentor* measures the Dose AreaProduct (DAP) of the fluoroscopy field. The DAP resultis displayed on the live monitor for easy viewingand increased dose awareness. The DAP can also bedocumented on hardcopy images. Alternativelythe display and documentation of air kerma rate andcumulative air kerma value is possible.

* Standard in some countries.

Optimal workflow with multimodality viewingMultimodality viewing (Query/Retrieve) allows you to accessimages from other modalities, such as CT and MR, before,during, or after the OR procedure. The monitor cart acts asan OR DICOM workstation, providing you a display of virtuallyall necessary pre-op patient images, making light boxesobsolete. ARCADIS Avantic’s icons are clear and easy tounderstand, bringing the image post-processing capabilitiesof syngo to your OR staff with ease.

Fluoro Loop/LSH (Last Scene Hold)The acquired scene starts automatically after radiationstops. Your benefit is the immediate replay of the acquiredscene. With LSH up to 120 images are kept in the temporarymemory for optional storage of the acquired scene.

Optimal workflow for documentation and archivingARCADIS Avantic has a local storage capacity of 40,000images, offering you increased flexibility. A CD burner isprovided for local long-term storage in DICOM or BMP formats.A DICOM viewer is written to the CD together with theimage data. This allows you to view the images stored onthe CD on any computer. Naturally, you can also use DICOMto send your images to the archive or to a local or networkprinter. Printing is facilitated by the virtual film sheet feature,which allows the viewing and formatting of images on theworkstation monitor before printing.

ARCADIS AvanticExceeding performance expectations

As a multipurpose high-end mobile C-arm, ARCADIS Avantic exceeds expectations.

It combines a 33 cm (13“) II (image intensifier) with the high output of a 25 kW

generator, a continuous digital 1K2 imaging chain, and dynamic recording at a maxi-

mum frame rate of 30 f/s in DCM (Digital Cine Mode). Virtually all DICOM functions

are supported as well.

Size really does matter

ARCADIS Avantic’s industry leading 33 cm (13”) image intensifier offers a nearly

15% larger entrance surface area for the usable FOV (Field of View), compared with

the conventional 30 cm (12“) image intensifier available in the industry. The coating

includes Mu-Metal shielding to provide nearly distortion-free images throughout the

entire field of view.

High performance for demanding applications

Comprehensive power through a 25 kW generator meets the needs of virtually all

applications. ARCADIS Avantic is equipped with a dual focus rotating anode tube

with a tube housing heat capacity of 2.57 MHU, delivering tube currents of up to

250 mA with a minimal pulse width of 7ms. DCM, with up to 30 f/s acquisition and

storage rate, sets the stage for advanced vascular and cardiac surgery applications.

Everything is under control

The all-in-one control panel, mounted on a swivel, allows convenient system operation

from any side of the C-arm. The key functions of ARCADIS Avantic (e.g. operating

modes, post-processing tools, electromagnetic brakes) can be controlled with a push

of a button.

In addition a Remote User Interface enables the surgeon to control all relevant

C-arm functions from within the sterile field.

Multifunction foot switch:

This alternative to the standard foot switch leads to more user friendly operation of

ARCADIS Avantic. With the new foot switch, surgeons as well as OR staff control all

operating modes and single image storage of ARCADIS Avantic with ease.

Dose-saving features

An integrated laser light localizer, radiation free collimation and multi-level dose

control are only a few of many dose reduction features. The detachable grid combined

with a high resolution DAP (Dose Area Product) measuring chamber and an integrated

copper filter open the path for pediatric surgery, where dose levels are most critical.

With its 33 cm (13”) II and large power reserves with a 25 kW generator,

ARCADIS Avantic is ideally suited for applications in vascular and cardiac surgery;

electrophysiology; gastroenterology; orthopedic, trauma and spine surgery; pain

management; general surgery, and urology.

Vascular surgery

In particular the 33 cm (13”) II enables surgeons to obtain maximum overview of

the anatomy of interest without repositioning the C-arm. The large field of view is

best suited for use during vascular interventions in many different applications such

as AAA, femoral artery bypass or placement of carotid stents. High penetration is

provided with up to 125 kV.

ARCADIS AvanticMade for your clinical specialty

Vascular surgery

Cardiac surgery

With its large power reserves of 25 kW and rotating anode, ARCADIS Avantic

provides excellent performance in cardiac surgery and electrophysiology. DCM

(Digital Cine Mode) with incredibly fast imaging rates (up to 30 images/s with a

minimum pulse width of 7ms), Fluoro Loop and LSH (Last Scene Hold), and three

zoom levels support imaging throughout the chest area. With 40,000-image storage

capacity, long series of images can be stored.

Gastroenterology

In gastroenterology, the 13” image intensifier provides an extended field of view

for optimized orientation. This enables the surgeon to see more anatomy in the

G.I. tract. In pulsed fluoroscopy, with up to 15 f/s, crisp images can be acquired and

stored in real time. Customized program settings lead to optimized image quality

with contrast media, as ideally suited for interventions in gastroenterology and

urology as well as general surgery.

Ortho/trauma/spine surgery

Complex cases in ortho/trauma applications, e.g. fractures of the pelvis or complex

spine surgery require advanced image quality. ARCADIS Avantic provides superb

image quality with DR shots with up to 250 mA. Even in lateral projections of obese

patients, consistently high image quality can be achieved and further supported by

three zoom levels when fine detail visualization is required.

covering everything from image acquisition to image processing and documentation.

Like all X-ray-based products from Siemens, the individual components of the entire

imaging chain are from one source – Siemens. These ideally matched components

allow ARCADIS Avantic to consistently deliver outstanding image quality.

High performance for demanding applications

ARCADIS Avantic delivers tube currents of up to 250 mA, which means that you

are prepared for virtually any application. The enhanced ”Power Mode” is available

at the touch of a button when you need it – for example, imaging the dense region

between the pelvis and spine.

Economic video splitter solution "Monitor-Out"

With the monitor-out function, the monitor cart of ARCADIS Avantic can be connected

to external monitors, e.g. ceiling mounted monitors.

Outstanding image quality from nearly any angle

ARCADIS Avantic is equipped with advanced, flicker-free 18“ or 19” flat-panel displays

– available either in color or monochrome versions. These TFT displays feature high-

brightness and high-contrast, as well as a viewing angle of 170°, both horizontally
