New Robotic Imaging Technology Holds Promise of Improved Cancer Care

WASHINGTON, March 17 /PRNewswire/ — New research released at the Society of Interventional Radiology’s (SIR) Annual Scientific Meeting in Washington, D.C., this week, holds promise of a new interventional imaging capability using advanced robotics provided by Siemens Healthcare (www.siemens.com/healthcare), to improve the value of chemoembolization in treating cancer.

The research, presented by Dr. John Angle, Associate Professor of Radiology, Chief, Division of Angiography, University of Virginia Health System in Charlottesville, at the “Advanced Imaging Symposium,” reveals clinical results from his case study using the Siemens Artis zeego®, a multi-axis C-arm that employs robotic technology to enable large-volume syngo® DynaCT acquisition for liver chemoembolization.

The Artis zeego is part of the new Artis zee® family of interventional imaging systems introduced by Siemens. Siemens is showcasing the Artis zee family at the SIR meeting in Booth #833.
