Cerebral aneurysm treatment
See clearly and navigate efficiently when treating cerebral aneurysms
Visualizing new, less opaque devices presents new challenges during treatment planning and device placement, which can lengthen your procedure time. That makes superb 2D and 3D imaging more important than ever to guide treatment decisions and device placement, and to efficiently manage radiation dose.

Azurion 7 B20/15 Image-guided therapy biplane system
Asses the impact of flow diverters immediately in the angio suite
Being able to immediately assess the impact of flow diverters on blood flow is crucial during treatment. AneurysmFlow converts information from a SmartCT Angio acquisition and 2D DSA flow sequences into quantitative flow values. These values are used to visualize and quantify blood flow patterns before and after flow diverter deployment in cerebral aneurysms.
High-resolution 3D visualization from a single rotational angiography run
SmartCT Angio is an X-ray acquisition technique that generates a complete high-resolution 3D visualization of cerebral vasculature from a single rotational angiography run – all controlled via the touchscreen at the table. This can improve visibility of tortuous or complex anatomy that may not be seen on a 2D or DSA image.

Clinical solutions for treating cerebral aneurysms
Visualize lesion boundaries and corresponding vascularization
MR-CT Roadmap allows you to overlay a previously acquired SmartCT Angio or MR angio scan with live fluoroscopy to visualize lesion boundaries and corresponding vascularization for risk assessment. Re-using pre-acquired data helps you manage X-ray dose and contrast medium.
Clearly view brain perforators and challenging devices
Enhance visualization of endovascular stents, flow diverters and other devices, as well as vessel morphology down to the perforator level with SmartCT Vaso. This acquisition technique is based on a cone beam CT (CBCT) scan and an intra-arterial contrast injection. It is increasingly used for follow-up of aneurysms treated with flow-diverter stents to check device positioning.
Navigate precisely using dynamic 3D image guidance
SmartCT Roadmap enhances visualization of overlapping vessels to support precise navigation of guidewire and catheter through complex vasculature. Offers high-level precision with real-time compensation for gantry, table and small patient movements.
Visualization of blood flow patterns helps to support accuracy
AneurysmFlow helps to visualize and quantify blood flow patterns in the parent vessel and aneurysm sac to obtain key information that can assist deployment of flow diverters and other embolization devices.
Improve visibility of cerebral vasculature
Roadmap Pro is an advanced double-contrast roadmap that helps improve visibility of overlapping vessels while balancing radiation exposure. It can be customized to show advancement during coil placement.
Visualize tortuous pathologies in high-fidelity 3D
SmartCT Angio provides a volumetric view in a few seconds1 to assist assessment of location, size, neck and severity of aneurysm for treatment planning. 3D volumes are visualized with high spatial resolution and automatic patient movement compensation.
Check for bleeds peri-procedure
Use SmartCT Soft Tissue imaging in the Neurovascular suite to check treatment success and identify bleeds.
Calculate blood flow post-treatment
AneurysmFlow evaluates changes in blood flow in the aneurysm, by calculating the change in Mean Aneurysm Flow Amplitude (MAFA ratio) before and after flow diverter placement.
Workflow innovations to treat cerebral aneurysms efficiently
Azurion offers a number of workflow innovations designed to help staff work efficiently and easily, while maintaining a single-minded focus on the patient and managing radiation dose.

Sharp, motionless vessels at low dose with ClarityIQ
ClarityIQ technology reduces patient dose by 75% in neuro DSA*, while maintaining equivalent image quality, compared to a system without ClarityIQ to support a broad patient population. ClarityIQ automatic motion compensation removes skull and motion artifacts which is key when placing small devices at the base of the skull.* Söderman M, Holmin S, Andersson T, Palmgren C, Babic D, Hoornaert B. Image noise reduction algorithm for digital subtraction angiography: clinical results. Radiology. 2013 Nov;269(2):553-60.The results of the application of dose reduction techniques will vary depending on the clinical task, patient size, anatomical location and clinical practice. The interventional radiologist assisted by a physicist as necessary has to determine the appropriate settings for each specific clinical task.
Results based on DSA dose area product per frame from a single center prospective randomized study on 20 patients. DSA runs for Allura Xper with ClarityIQ and Allura Xper without ClarityIQ were acquired on the frontal and lateral channel on the same patient under same condition of geometry, field of view, and injection protocol. Image quality was based on subjective assessment (score 1-5, 1=very poor, 5=excellent, blinded review by 3 radiologists involved in the study).
