AXIOM Iconos R200 FAQs

The AXIOM Iconos R200 offers a range of system controls tableside, including I.I. Size and collimation, providing the operator with direct access to the patient. You can also initiate fluoroscopy and acquisition via a foot pedal. (Option) A mobile control console for examination room is also available as an option.

In designing the AXIOM Iconos R200, we put particular emphasis on this fact, as it is extremely advantageous for special examinations such as endoscopy, and for patient transfer. You have easy access to the patient from the back of the table from both sides of the receptor stand.

The ACSS function ensures the automatic format collimation for Bucky exposures. For cassette/spotfilm device exposures, format height and width can be collimated separately up to actual cassette size or subdivision format. Over collimation of selected I.I.- format is not possible.

With the AXIOM Iconos R200, Siemens provides a system using a broad spectrum of integrated image-optimizing components that seamlessly complement our low dose program C.A.R.E.

• CAREMATIC – ensures correct exposure parameters. 
• CAREPROFILE - positioning of primary collimation and semi-transparent filters displayed graphically in the LIH image, without applying additional dose to patient and staff. 
• Semi-transparent filters - available with the optional universal collimator, these filters help to eliminate overexposure due to extreme differences in density. 
• SDM – With the selective dominant measurement (SDM), you profit from a consistently good and uniform image density, by organ related position of four different dominant fields. For this each object is optimally exposed whether it is in the center of the image or not. Due to the automatic adjustment of the dominant size when changing the zoom area, the relationship of field size to object is constant. 
  

A height adjustable table offers advantages such as

• Examination of the patient in extreme Trendelenburg position, from -15° up to -50° 
• Convenient patient transfer for both, the patient and the staff, as the horizontal table can be adjusted to the optimal transfer position – just a simple touch of a button on your AXIOM Iconos R200 
• The user can adjust the table to a working height that is most convenient for him or her. 

The AXIOM Iconos R200 comes with an automated table height adjustment for examinations in Trendelenburg position.

With the AXIOM Iconos R200 you can use either metal or plastic cassettes according to IEC, ANSI and DIN standards and formats 18 x 24 cm (8’’ x 10’’) to 35 x 43 cm (14’’ x 17’’) (longitudinal and transverse). The maximum film segmentation is 4-on-1. You can acquire a fast series with up to 4 exposures in 2 seconds.
