This ceiling-mounted system provides unlimited imaging flexibility and exceptional positioning freedom. Seamlessly control all relevant applications from a single touch screen at table side, to help make fast, informed decisions while remaining in the sterile field. Philips Azurion with FlexArm works around you so you can advance your suite performance and deliver superior care.
Total table side control and acquisition guidance with SmartCT
The SmartCT solution enriches our outstanding 3D interventional tools with step by step guidance, designed to remove barriers to acquiring 3D images in the interventional lab. With the touch screen, you can easily acquire 3D images and interact with SmartCT tools in an intuitive way.1 Once acquired, The SmartCT viewing application automatically opens your 3D image with the correct rendering and viewing tools on the touch screen module. All tools work with the tablet’s touch screen simplicity within the sterile area.
Excellent needle trajectory planning and guidance with XperGuide Ablation
XperGuide Ablation* provides comprehensive assistance for treatment planning and live needle guidance. It offers unique Parallax Correction to plan needle trajectories for off-center lesions.2 To optimize the needle position for effective ablation, this tool displays the virtual needle path to assist in multiple needle planning. It shows needle characteristics such as ablation zone/isotherm to confirm complete tumor coverage prior to ablation.

Highly accurate and safe needle interventions with XperGuide and CBCT
Lesion heterogeneity and lack of conspicuity limit the quality of specimens as well as the feasibility of biopsies when performed under ultrasound or conventional CT. With the increasing adoption of screening programs in lung, early lung cancers manifesting as small nodules have been detected more frequently than ever before. XperGuide offers live 3D image needle guidance, letting you bring percutaneous needle procedures into the interventional lab. It overlays live fluoroscopy and 3D soft tissue imaging data from previously-acquired CT or MR scans or Philips XperCT, providing information on the needle path and target.

Tumor biopsy and ablation
Comprehensive approach supports successful outcomes
Percutaneous ablation (radiofrequency, microwave, and cryoablation), is a well-established minimally invasive treatment of kidney, liver, lung and bone tumors. It is critical to define the tumor boundaries and decide on an optimal number of needles and corresponding needle trajectory to be able to perform a complete tumor treatment and not to cause damage to surrounding tissue. Navigating accurately at low dose to the lesion of interest without needle repositioning increases the opportunity for success and reduces risk for complications of your biopsies or ablations. Confirmation of ablation treatment endpoint can be accomplished with 3D imaging while the patient is still on the table.
Soft Tissue image
SmartCT Soft Tissue offers a Cone Beam CT (CBCT) acquisition technique augmented with step-by-step guidance, advanced 3D visualization and measurement tools; all accessible on the touch screen module at table side.
Pre-procedural image alignment with CBCT
Dual View allows the overlay of a pre-procedure 3D image (CT/MR/PET-CT) on an intra-procedure 3D CBCT Dual to better visualization the lesions and access critical input for needle planning.
Live needle trajectory guidance
XperGuide provides highly accurate live image guidance of each needle to a targeted position by overlaying pre-planned trajectories with fluoroscopic imaging.3
Post ablation lesion imaging with CBCT
With CBCT acquire a post-ablation CBCT to demonstrate the extent of tumor coverage and confirm completeness of your treatment.
