ARCADIS Avantic 13" image intensifier and 1K² image-matrix:

"The diagnostically valuable images of ARCADIS Avantic allow me to predict how long the patient can count on good functionality based on intraoperative findings immediately after surgery which are far more accurate than before. The surgeon requires a detailed image of blood flow into the smallest forefoot vessels. Their inner diameter is only one millimeter. In the past, we were not able to evaluate them half as well with conventional C-arms, even if we injected twice or three times the amount of contrast agent."
