Gantry
Always seeking the safety of the patient from the gantry Asteion modern has design features and attractive. Efficiency is the strong point, in order to achieve maximum productivity and quality. The opening of 72 cm of Gantry is the largest market, offering comfort and ease of positioning.
Examination Table
Large table and comfortable, has the top mobile completely free of metal parts, allowing for continuous scanning without the need for repositioning of the patient, even with the headband. The table width is 47cm and minimum height of 30cm which offer the patient the opportunity to rest the arm on the table, along with ease of access and security. The table of Asteion allows a continuous scan of up to 180cm and supports a weight up to 130Kg. It is coated with an inflatable mattress that provides more convenience and comfort to the patient during the exam.
X-Ray Generator
When combined with a quick scan of the generator of high power enables RX from “scrennings” high resolution and low radiation by high-resolution examinations in obese patients.
Acquisition Multslice High Speed
The acquisition allows Asteion full in 0.75 seconds in all slice thicknesses, making the stay of the patient short.
Wide Range of Thickness
The solid state detector Asteion has high converting speed and high luminous efficiency that enables the equipment to operate at low dose. You can ´´ slice thicknesses between 0.5 mm and 5mm in 4 simultaneous cuts, as the purpose of the examination. The Asteion is the only Multslice with 22 rows of detectors which combines high-speed high-resolution, since one can perform simultaneous acquisitions of 0.5 mm by 0.75 seconds.
Excellent image quality
The system has low contrast resolution of 2.00 mm to 0.3% and high contrast resolution of 0.35 mm, which allows visualization of small structures with total security of diagnosis. Thus, the examination can be performed using thin slices even in routine examinations with high resolution. It has specific software for angiography and reducing artifacts in imaging patients with metallic prostheses.
Console
The console allows for remote control of various functions such as tilt of the Gantry, moving the table and voice command for communication with the patient, which is easily accomplished through commands such as “talk back” and “talk forward.”
High Productivity
Images with different slice thicknesses can be generated later by reconstruction. For example, after a scan of 1mm, images of other thicknesses can be generated, such as images from 10mm to routine images of 4mm and a more detailed picture of 1mm for generating 3D. The equipment is very fast since it reconstruction up to 4 fps at 512 x 512 matrix and 12 frames per second in fluoroscopy mode. To illustrate the power system Multslice, you can scan an entire chest (approximately 30cm) with collimation of 5mm in just 5 seconds. The amount of contrast used is also reduced to a fraction of a conventional device used. Another difference is the system SureView, a tool Extremely helpful in reducing the radiation dose, once viewed as the region of interest, you can abort the rest of the acquisition.
Sure3D
The Asteion has a complete set of applications for reconstruction of images in 2D and 3D. Are among the available functions:
– Measures of density, area, maximum, minimum, standard deviation;
– Distance and angle;
– Histogram and profile straight and oblique;
– Volume;
– Addition and subtraction;
– Added comments and ´´ion of graphics;
– Inversion, reversal and rotation of images;
– Filters images;
– Hotkey for screen capture;
– Interpolation axial high speed
