    Be ready to take on new challenges in ischemic stroke treatment


    We see a strong increase in thrombectomy interventions as a first line treatment for patients with ischemic stroke. There is also a shift from time-based to image-based patient selection for ischemic stroke treatment. Our Neuro suite has been developed to address these trends. It can support high levels of procedural efficiency and redefine outcomes for your stroke patients.
    Ishemic stroke treatment

    Clinical solutions for treating ischemic stroke

     

    Our Neuro suite provides workflow options, dedicated interventional neuro tools, and neuro accessories to support high levels of procedural efficiency and redefine outcomes for your stroke patients. They support each step of your procedure – as you decide, guide, treat, and confirm treatment results.

    Identifying if the patient has an ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke, locate the affected area and assess the state of the penumbra and amount of salvageable tissue.

    Comprehensive stroke diagnosis based on three SmartCTs

    CBCT
    Non-contrast CBCT aids detection of early ischemic changes. Early phase CBCT helps to identify the proximal occlusion. Late phase contrast enhanced CBCT supports detection of collaterals.
    Watch the video

    Dual View to see collateral filling

    XperCT Dual View
    Viewing early and late phase CBCT volumes side by side enhances identification of penumbra and enables visualization of collateral filling.

    SmartCT Vaso IV to check location and length of a clot

    VasoCT IV
    SmartCT Vaso IV allows visualization beyond the clot with peri-procedural imaging of the distal vessel aspects in ischemic stroke. By retrograde filling, vessel structures before and after the clot become visible. The SmartCT Vaso 3D roadmap can be used to visualize clot retrieval devices.

    Guide and Treat


    When navigating and treating stroke pathology, clinicians need to be able to visualize the exact location of the clot and assess if and how the clot can be reached.

    Maintain sharp images using 2D DSA with ClarityIQ technology

    2D DSA ClarityIQ
    Automatic Motion Compensation during real-time DSA maintains sharp images of the vessel to support confident decision making throughout stroke procedures.

    Confirm


    After stroke treatment, there is a need to confirm if all clot material has been removed and to check for bleedings while the patient is still in the interventional lab.

    Confirm treatment success with DSA run-off

    DSA run-off visualization
    High quality DSA visualizations allow you to assess if you have retrieved the complete clot and if pieces of clot have been dispersed distally in the brain. You can check the restoration of blood flow to the penumbra and check for peri-procedure bleedings.

    Peri-procedure check of bleedings with SmartCT Soft Tissue

      See clearly and navigate efficiently when treating cerebral aneurysms


      New devices can be difficult to visualize when treating cerebral aneurysms, and this can lengthen these types of interventions. That makes superb 2D and 3D imaging more important than ever to guide treatment decisions and device placement, while efficiently managing radiation dose.
      Aneurysmflow image

      Clinical solutions for treating cerebral aneurysms

      Neuro suite provides workflow options, dedicated neuro interventional tools, and neuro accessories to improve procedural accuracy and reduce radiation exposure for staff and patients during aneurysm interventions. They support each step of your procedure – as you decide, guide, treat, and confirm treatment results.

      Decide


      The three main challenges when planning cerebral aneurysm treatment are: 1) obtaining insight into tortuous vasculature, 2) accurately assessing the location, size, and neck of the aneurysm, and 3) identifying and confirming if the lesion is severe enough to require an intervention and if there is enough information to make an appropriate treatment plan.

      3D visualization of tortuous pathologies with SmartCT Angio

      MR-CT Roadmap
      SmartCT Angio (3D-RA) provides a volumetric view in a few seconds to assist with assessment of location, size, neck, and severity of aneurysm for treatment planning. 3D-RA also provides high spacial resolution volumes and automatically compensates for patient movement.

      Guide and Treat


      New technologies and devices make it more challenging than ever to efficiently navigate to the feeding vessel and accurately position devices - all while avoiding arterial dissection and spasms and minimizing contrast agent and radiation use.

      After aneursym treatment, clinicians need to check that the device(s) has been properly placed and deployed in the context of the feeding vessel, the neck, and sac of the aneurysm. It is efficient to measure the efftect of the device while the patient is still on the table to check that there is no dissection or decrease of flow in the aneurysm.

      Post-treatment flow calculations with AneurysmFlow

      AneurysmFlow image
      Evaluate changes in blood flow in the aneurysm pre and post, by calculating the change in Mean Aneurysm Flow Amplitude (MAFA ratio) before and after flow diverter placement.

      Enhance imaging of vessels in the brain with SmartCT Vaso IA

      VasoCT IA
      SmartCT Vaso is an acquisition technique that combines a high resolution CBCT with a contrast injection to enhance visualization of endovascular stents, flow diverters, and other devices and of vessel morphology down to the perforator level. It is increasingly used for follow-up of aneurysms treated with flow-diverter stents to check device positioning.

        Decide confidently “to treat” or “not to treat” complex AVMs

         

        Your ability to visualize the extremely complex pathologies of AVMs, fistula and other malformations is crucial in deciding whether to treat or monitor a patient. For decades, neuro specialists have relied on Philips sophisticated neuro imaging solutions to support confident planning and treatment decisions for AVM interventions. Now, as the field shifts towards medical monitoring of unruptured AVMs, our unique imaging capabilities can once again make the difference.
        XperCT and VasoCT

        Clinical solutions for monitoring and treating AVMs


        Neuro suite provides workflow options, dedicated neuro interventional tools and neuro accessories to improve procedural accuracy and reduce radiation exposure for staff and patients during AVM interventions. They support each step of your procedure – as you decide, guide, treat, and confirm treatment results.
