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. To support you in acquiring CBCT images first-time right [1] and to streamline your workflow, you are guided through key steps. Once the CBCT scan is successfully performed, the acquired 3D image is automatically displayed in the SmartCT 3D visualization tool with the appropriate rendering settings and the 3D measurement tools tailored for the selected 3D protocol.

CBCT Open
SmartCT Soft Tissue offers the possibility to acquire a CBCT using open trajectory with start and stop positions of +55° to -185° respectively. This protocol opens the arc to the left side of the patient allowing for a wider translation of the angiographic table towards this direction; thereby shifting the isocenter of the C-arm to the right lateral side of the patient. This enables visualizing off-centered regions of interest (such as the periphery of the liver) in a single sweep. [4] The Open arc trajectory can also ease imaging of larger patients.

CBCT Dual in liver imaging
CBCT Dual in liver imaging
Dual Phase CBCT acquisition is an advanced capability of SmartCT Soft Tissue, which allows two CBCT scans to be made automatically on the Azurion system with a user defined interval and a single contrast injection. High resolution, high contrast images are reconstructed within seconds to support fast decisions during procedures. It is commonly used for TACE where the first phase serves as an arterial phase and the second (delayed) phase shows the contrast uptake in the lesions. [5,6]
