Cerebral aneurysm treatment

Neurovascular icon

See clearly and navigate efficiently when treating cerebral aneurysms


Visualizing new, less opaque devices presents new challenges during treatment planning and device placement which can lengthen your procedure time. That makes superb 2D and 3D imaging more important than ever to guide treatment decisions and device placement, and efficiently manage radiation dose.

Azurion 7 B20/15

Azurion 7 B20/15 Image-guided therapy system

Biplane image-guided therapy system with one 20" frontal and one 15" lateral flat detector

Enhance certainty during ischemic stroke, cerebral aneurysm and other neuro interventions

Experience a simple, smooth clinical workflow with the dedicated neuro features

Visualize the full intricacies of complex malformations and less radio-opaque flow diverters

During neuro interventions, the goal is to see clearly, while managing safety for all involved. Philips Neurovascular suite with leading Azurion biplane 7 with 20'' and 15'' detector X-ray system is designed to enhance treatment and support effective guidance as you work. Seamlessly control all compatible applications from a single touch screen at table side, to help make fast, informed decisions in the sterile field.

AneurysmFlow blood flow patterns visualization

Asses the impact of flow diverters immediately in the angio room

Being able to immediately assess the impact of flow diverters on blood flow is crucial during treatment. AneurysmFlow converts information from a SmartCT Angio acquisition and 2D DSA flow sequences into quantitative flow values. These values are used to visualize and quantify blood flow patterns before and after flow diverter deployment in cerebral aneurysms.

SmartCT Angio

High-resolution 3D visualization from a single rotational angiography run

SmartCT Angio is an X-ray acquisition technique that generates a complete high-resolution 3D visualization of cerebral vasculature from a single rotational angiography run – all controlled via the touch screen at the table. This can improve visibility of tortuous or complex anatomy.

    Clinical solutions for treating cerebral aneurysms

    Infographic image

    Visualize lesion boundaries and corresponding vascularization

    MR-CT roadmap

    MR-CT Roadmap offers the possibility to overlay a previously acquired SmartCT Angio or MR angio scan with live fluoroscopy to visualize lesion boundaries and corresponding vascularization for risk assessment. Re-using pre-acquired data helps you manage X-ray dose and contrast medium.

    Visualizes sub-millimeter structures and vasculature during neuro procedures

    SmartCT Vaso IA

    SmartCT Vaso provides high resolution 3D imaging that reveals key information about cerebral vascular structures to support the highest possible spatial assessment of vessels in the soft tissue context.

    Navigate precisely using dynamic 3D image guidance

    SmartCT roadmap enhanced visualization

    SmartCT Roadmap facilitates complex interventions by providing live 3D image guidance that can be segmented, using SmartCT Angio or SmartCT Soft Tissue, to emphasize target vessel and lesions, aiding guidewire and catheter navigation through complex vessel structures. All controlled via the touch screen at the table.

    Visualization of blood flow patterns helps to support accuracy

    MR-CT roadmap

    AneurysmFlow helps to visualize and quantify blood flow patterns in the parent vessel and aneurysm sac to obtain key information that can assist deployment of flow diverters and other embolization devices.

    Improve visibility of cerebral vasculature

    Roadmap pro

    Roadmap Pro is an advanced double contrast roadmap that helps improve visibility of overlapping vessels while balancing radiation exposure. It can be customized to show advancement during coil placement.

    Visualize tortuous pathologies in high-fidelity 3D

    SmartCT Angio

    SmartCT Angio provides a volumetric view in a few seconds1 to assist assessment of location, size, neck, and severity of aneurysm for treatment planning. 3D volumes are visualized with high spatial resolution and automatic patient movement compensation.

    Check for bleedings peri-procedure

    CBCT (CT-like)

    Use SmartCT Soft Tissue imaging in the Neurovascular suite to check treatment success and identify bleedings.

    Calculate blood flow post-treatment

    Aneurysm flow post treatment

    AneurysmFlow evaluates changes in blood flow in the aneurysm, by calculating the change in Mean Aneurysm Flow Amplitude (MAFA ratio) before and after flow diverter placement.

    Workflow innovations to treat cerebral aneurysms efficiently


    Azurion offers a number of workflow innovations designed to help staff work efficiently and easily, while maintaining a single-minded focus on the patient and manage radiation dose.

    Azurion Biplane B20/12

    Sharp, motion-free vessels at low dose

    ClarityIQ wheel

    Replace paragraph with: ClarityIQ provides high quality imaging for a comprehensive range of clinical procedures, achieving excellent visibility at low X-ray dose levels.  In interventional neuro procedures, ClarityIQ technology reduces patient dose by 65% for the total procedure without affecting the procedural performance, compared to an Allura Xper system.1

    Manage dose and simplify workflow

    Zero Dose Positioning

    Zero Dose Positioning helps you reduce dose by allowing you to pan the table, change table height or move the X-ray system on Last Image Hold to determine the new center position. This helps you prepare your next run without using fluoroscopy.

    Full table side control

    FlexVision Pro

    Gives you direct access and full control of pre-operative diagnostic scans, patient information and planning tools at table side to save time and unnecessary walking in and out of the sterile area.

    Reduce in-lab prep time supported by ProcedureCards

    ProcedureCards image

    ProcedureCards3 streamline and standardize system set-up and help reduce preparation errors. Select the Aneurysm ProcedureCard and the system is set-up the way you want.

    Use neuro headrest to help reduce motion artifacts

    Neuro headrest

    Can be used to restrain restless patients under conscious sedation to help reduce motion artifacts during the procedure.
