ARCADIS Varic

[FACILITY LOGO/LETTERHEAD]

Mobile Imaging System Enables Physicians at [FACILITY NAME] to Visualize a Patient’s Anatomy During Surgery

ARCADIS Varic Obtains Detailed Images Directly in the Operating Room

DATELINE – [FACILITY NAME] announces that it has installed a leading-edge mobile imaging system that generates high-quality images directly in the operating room during surgical procedures. The ARCADIS® Varic imaging system from Siemens Medical Solutions is designed to help streamline processes during surgical interventions and enable digital images to be shared easily among physicians and medical staff.

The ARCADIS Varic utilizes an X-ray system called C-arm that intensifies the X-ray image to allow physicians to view the anatomy more easily, while performing scans at lower does of radiation.

[QUOTE FROM FACILITY PHYSICIAN OR ADMINISTRATOR]

Equipped with Siemens syngo® software platform, the high-performance mobile c-arm system allows surgery staff to access clinical patient information online at the touch of a button. This includes images obtained from other examinations such as computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Its intuitive user interface helps lead to increased efficiency in the operating room.

This ARCADIS Varic delivers the highest standard of image quality and is equipped with a fully digital image matrix that functions from image acquisition to image processing and documentation. In addition, the system offers increased imaging power, enabling a wide variety of applications to perform at minimum radiation dose while examining difficult-to-image areas (such as the pelvis or the dense region between the pelvis and the spine).

ARCADIS Varic’s compact size and lightweight design offers maximum maneuverability, even in busy operating rooms.
