The new Allura Xper models are used in both diagnostic and interventional procedures in the vascular and mixed cardiovascular fields. Patients benefit from the design's open architecture as well as the BodyGuard patient protection mechanism, which senses the patient's location and prevents collisions. For clinicians, a faster diagnosis is possible with the integrated user interface, including live images, patient data, system-generated data, geometry settings, clinical image-processing controls and exam data. Procedure time is significantly reduced with the fast-moving, ceiling-suspended C-arm stand, which can take all angles and types of images without ever having to move the patient. Together, the products and their unique interface open up new dimensions in image quality, efficiency and clinical performance.
