From now on, the institute has a modern mobile C-arm available for intraoperative 2D- and 3D-imaging: a Siemens Cios Spin. The system is part of the newly established IGT Innovation Lab (Image-Guided Therapies), which is also equipped with motion sensors, ultrasound, and tracking systems.
The imaging system will play a central role in the institute’s research and development —particularly in validating new technologies.
Key features include:
- 2D fluoroscopy with CMOS flat-panel detector
- Retina 3D CBCT reconstructions with up to 400 projections in 30 seconds
- An OpenApp interface for integrating third-party applications
The system is intended for material phantoms.
Planned projects include AI-based image optimization, segmentation and registration, simulation and validation of interventional procedures, and multimodal image fusion (CBCT, MRI, ultrasound) to improve clinical workflows.
Following successful TÜV inspection and radiation safety instruction, the C-arm is now officially ready for use. We are open to collaborating with experts from research, clinical practice, and industry to make the best use of the system in joint projects.
