Ischemic stroke treatment
Be ready to take on new challenges in ischemic stroke treatment with these innovative approaches
Demonstrated results
39
cm (15 in) lateral detector
of Azurion can be positioned close to the patient’s head while providing full brain coverage
88%
of users
believe they can have more focus on their patient - thanks to full tableside control with the touchscreen module [3]
75%
dose reduction in neuro DSA [4]
with ClarityIQ compared to a system without ClarityIQ. Its automatic motion compensation removes skull and motion artifacts, which is key when placing small devices at the base of the skull.

Azurion 7 B20/15 Image Guided Therapy System Biplane
High-quality neuro-specific lateral detector can be positioned close to the patient’s head while providing full brain coverage. Secure, fast lateral gantry parking allows seamless switch between 2D and 3D image acquisition. Frontal arc 135° position enables optimal head-end access to the patient.
SmartCT 3D visualization and measurement solution
Simplifies 3D acquisition so any clinical user [5] can easily perform 3D imaging. 3D images are automatically displayed within seconds on the touchscreen module [6]. Visualize the full intricacies of complex malformations and also less radio-opaque flow diverters.
SmartCT Vaso
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.
Roadmap Pro
Make informed decisions about whether the clot can be reached and which route to use with this advanced double-contrast roadmap to help enhance visualization of overlapping vessels, while balancing radiation exposure.
ProcedureCards
The use of ProcedureCards has been shown to reduce in-lab prep time.[2] ProcedureCards help streamline and standardize system set-up for neuro interventions and also help reduce preparation errors.
FlexVision Pro and Touchscreen module Pro
FlexVision Pro gives direct access and full control of pre-operative diagnostic scans, patient information and planning tools at tableside to save time and the need to leave and re-enter the sterile area. Touchscreen module Pro allows tableside control of images and applications with tablet ease.
“I always say to the young doctors: If you don’t see, then you don’t understand, and if you don’t understand, you cannot treat. And 3D is the key tool."

Chef de Service at NEURI Bicêtre, Paris, France
"The ergonomy has reached a new level...I don't know a single system in the world which is as reliable in terms of repositioning and stability."

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.
