The company claims that the Infinix VF-i/BP provides patient anatomical coverage through its multi-axis floor C-arm and suspended omega-arm, which has a variable iso-center that simplifies biplane positioning and isocentering. It offers high-resolution imaging through two flat panel detectors (FPD), 12-inch by 16-inch FPD on the multi-axis C-arm and an 8-inch by 8-inch’ FPD on the ceiling suspended omega-arm. This allow flexibility needed for complex vascular and neuro interventional procedures with high-resolution imaging at the lowest dose.
The Infinix VF-i/BP also includes configuration flexibility, liquid-metal bearing X-ray tube and an innovative table design that allows a variety of patients to be imaged, as claimed by the company.
The new Infinix system is set up to allow 180-degree head-end patient access, said Robert Micer, director, X-ray vascular business unit at Toshiba. The Infinix’s multi-axis floor-mounted C-arm and suspended omega-arm allows head-to-toe and fingertip-to-fingertip coverage without having to pan or pivot the table. This allows physicians to move the system around the patient, instead of moving the patient around the system.
Toshiba’s competitor GE healthcare offers a product named Advantx LCA LP+ X-ray system, which is a biplane angiographic system consisting of a floor mounted three-axis C-arm with 40 cm image intensifier and a ceiling suspended C-Arm with 32 cm image intensifier.
