Product Overview

The Siemens ARTIS Q.zen Biplane is a high-performance interventional X-ray and angiography system designed for advanced procedures in cardiac catheterization labs, angio labs, interventional radiology suites, neurovascular centers, and hybrid operating rooms.

The biplane configuration provides two imaging planes, allowing simultaneous imaging from different angles. This is particularly valuable for complex cardiovascular, neurovascular, and interventional procedures where precise visualization and efficient workflow are critical.

The ARTIS Q.zen platform features Siemens' advanced X-ray generation and detector technology, including ultra-low-dose imaging capabilities and high sensitivity for fluoroscopy-guided interventions. Siemens specifically positions the ARTIS Q.zen Biplane for angiography, cardiology, surgery, and complex image-guided interventions.

This 2016 system has the added benefit of updated X-ray tubes from 2022 and 2024, providing significant value for facilities seeking a premium biplane angiography platform.

Advanced Biplane Imaging

The biplane configuration utilizes two independent imaging planes, typically including a floor-mounted and ceiling-mounted imaging system.

This configuration allows physicians to obtain simultaneous or sequential views from different projections, improving visualization during complex interventions.

Biplane angiography is particularly beneficial for:

• Neurovascular procedures
• Cardiac interventions
• Complex vascular procedures
• Electrophysiology
• Structural heart interventions
• Pediatric cardiovascular procedures
• Interventional radiology

The ARTIS Q.zen Biplane provides extensive patient coverage and excellent access around the patient table for demanding interventional procedures.

Advanced Siemens Q.zen Technology

Crystalline Silicon Detector Technology

One of the defining technologies of the ARTIS Q.zen platform is its advanced crystalline silicon detector technology.

This detector technology is designed to:

• Reduce electronic noise
• Increase signal-to-noise performance
• Support high-sensitivity imaging
• Enable ultra-low-dose fluoroscopy
• Improve visualization during long and complex procedures

According to Siemens, ARTIS Q.zen technology can support fluoroscopic imaging at extremely low detector dose levels while maintaining visibility of critical anatomy and devices.

GIGALIX X-Ray Tube Technology

The ARTIS Q.zen platform incorporates Siemens' high-performance GIGALIX X-ray tube technology, designed to provide:

• High contrast resolution
• Excellent performance at steep angulations
• Improved visualization of fine anatomical details
• High-performance imaging for larger patients
• Advanced pulsed fluoroscopy

Siemens also incorporates CLEARpulse technology to support sharp imaging while optimizing radiation dose.
