Cairns Private Hospital’s new Coronary Angiography System

2009

Cairns Private Hospitals new Toshiba Infinix CFi -Type S Coronary Angiography System is the first of its kind to be installed in Australia.

Complete with the latest digital technology the system comprises a 20 x 20cm Flat Panel Detector, allows unique full body coverage, unprecedented patient access, and comprises the latest Image Quality technology.

This advanced angiographic suite has been designed to provide Coronary angiography services without compromise.

The full body coverage allows operators to easily image the entire body without having to move the patient or examination table as required with other systems. Clinical specialists now have the ability to image from finger tip to tip, or head to toe by manipulating the imaging equipment; this reduces the risk of contaminating sterile fields, dislodging patient IV lines and moving ancillary equipment.

The advanced patient access will allow physicians to comfortably access their patient without having to lean around bulky imaging equipment. This is particularly important for examinations that require head end access to the patient, and will allow cases to be performed more safely and efficiently.

One of the most intelligent advancements in Toshiba’s latest technology is the leaps made in digital image quality. The image quality provided by the Toshiba Infinix I- Type S has seen a significant reduction in image noise and blurring compared to other systems, this means that doctors can visualise blood vessels and devices more clearly, increasing their confidence in diagnose and allowing them to perform more accurate intervention.
