CBCT Open
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. [2] The Open arc trajectory also offers more comfort to the 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. [3,4]

CBCT Dual in brain imaging
Dual phase CBCT is an increasingly used application for stroke diagnosis. A non-contrast CBCT aids detection of early ischemic changes. With CBCT Dual an early phase image helps to identify the proximal occlusion while the late phase supports the detection of collaterals, here again using a single contrast injection. [5]

Application areas
Lesion detection
DualPhase acquisition and DualView allow visualization of arterial and post-arterial contrast enhancement in liver imaging. With MRI-like lesion1,2 detection, XperCT Dual allows you to predict tumor response in TACE and SIRT procedures.
Neuro visualizations
XperCT Dual provides superb image quality when imaging areas where a coil or stent is present. Plus, its improved grey scale and more homogeneous images enhance visualization of soft tissue and small bleedings for post-procedural checks.
Visualization of endoleaks
The enhanced image quality of XperCT Dual improves the visualization of pathologies, such as endoleaks. It also assists in the treatment of large patients by providing improved image quality.
