Image-guided therapy
Neurovascular treatment for AVMs and AVFs
Decide confidently whether to treat or not treat complex AVMs, AVFs and other malformations
Your ability to visualize the extremely complex pathologies of arteriovenous malformations (AVMs), arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) and other malformations is crucial in deciding whether to treat or to monitor a patient. For decades, neuro specialists have relied on Philips for sophisticated neuro imaging solutions to support confident planning and treatment decisions for interventions. Now, as the field shifts towards medical monitoring of unruptured malformations, the tools we offer can continue to support you in making a difference in the lives of your patients.
Demonstrated results in neurovascular treatment for AVMs and AVFs
Clinical solutions for monitoring and treating AVMs, AVFs and other malformations
During neuro interventions, the goal is to see clearly, while managing safety for all involved. The Azurion system geometry combines speed and sophistication with the introduction of Image Beam Rotation, allowing 135-degree rotations on the frontal arm, giving you the most flexible Philips biplane system to date, providing optimal access to the patient’s head-end. Seamlessly control all compatible applications from a single touchscreen at tableside to help make fast, informed decisions in the sterile field. Simplifies 3D acquisition so any clinical user3 can easily perform 3D imaging.
Workflow innovations for AVMs help staff work efficiently and easily, maintaining a patient focus
- See more during neurovascular interventions and elevate treatment confidence with excellent visibility at very low X-ray dose levels
- Integrated biplane systems put you in firm control from a single touchscreen at tableside to enhance decision-making and run an entire case without breaking sterility
- Provides simplified 3D visualization and measurements at tableside to help improve treatment outcomes
- Creates the ideal treatment environment with specific tools and workflows for multiple clinical specialties in one room

Routine neuro interventions comprise of DSA and fluoroscopy usage. (95% CI 56%, 68% for routine diagnostic neuro endovascular procedures, 95% CI 58%, 71% for routine interventional neuro endovascular procedures). The results of the application of dose reduction techniques will vary depending on the clinical task, patient size, anatomical location and clinical practice. The interventional radiologist assisted by a physicist as necessary has to determine the appropriate settings for each specific clinical task. Results based on total dose area product from a single center retrospective historically controlled cohort study (Karolinska Hospital - Solna, Sweden) on 614patients (302 for Allura Xper and 312 for AlluraClarity) undergoing neuro endovascular procedures.
