Cios Alpha.neoA mobile C-arm for 2D intraoperative imaging
Perfect balance. Every time.
Cios Alpha.neo features the Retina Imaging Chain with either IGZO or CMOS detector technology. It offers automated power management with active cooling for extended endovascular procedures.
Benefits
Cios Alpha.neo is a high-definition mobile C-arm featuring the proven Retina Imaging Chain. Combined with a high-power generator and dedicated CARE technologies, the system allows you to achieve the right balance between image quality and dose.1
- Benefit from the right image quality, thanks to the Retina Imaging Chain2 featuring either IGZO or CMOS detector technology.
- Use tailored Exam Sets and automated dose settings for every procedure, thanks to CARE technology.3
- Access extra imaging power when needed with the Energy Storage Unit, which buffers energy to increase maximum power and triples the mean power for acquisitions lasting up to30 seconds.
- Evaluate the region of interest easily, thanks to automated SpotAdapt image-quality regulation and smart collimation.3
- Operate the C-arm at the table-side using the electromagnetic brakes and laser-light localizer. Save and recall orbital and angular C-arm rotations along with collimation settings using the storage function.
- Get up to speed quickly in your workflow with the intuitive touch user interface that can be directly mounted at the OR table and the target pointer, which helps you navigate to the target region.3
- Enhance communication in the operating room, thanks to color coding that supports C-arm positioning.
- Simplify equipment handling and keep your hands free for patient care with the wireless footswitch.
- Confidently perform even lengthy and intensive acquisitions, thanks to intelligent power management and active cooling.
- Benefit from minimized ghosting effects, even in dynamic workflows with moving structures, thanks to CMOS detector technology.4
- Benefit from the right image quality, thanks to the Retina Imaging Chain2 featuring either IGZO or CMOS detector technology.
- Use tailored Exam Sets and automated dose settings for every procedure, thanks to CARE technology.3
- Access extra imaging power when needed with the Energy Storage Unit, which buffers energy to increase maximum power and triples the mean power for acquisitions lasting up to30 seconds.
- Evaluate the region of interest easily, thanks to automated SpotAdapt image-quality regulation and smart collimation.3
