Image of the Year

Acquired at the Medical University of Lublin, Poland, with a Ziehm Vision RFD Hybrid Edition CMOSline1, roadmapping subtraction angiography (RSA)
Day in and day out, our C-arms allow the smallest anatomical details in the hidden regions of the human body to be displayed. These images create interest in particular with its precise representation of the extremely fine vascular structures in the brain. Due to patient movement during the digital subtraction angiography (DSA), the so-called single frame roadmapping method was used in which a single image is selected from an entire DSA sequence.


The selected image serves as the basis for roadmapping, creating a type of ‘map’ that doesn’t require contrast media to provide the orientation that physicians need within the vascular structures. The CMOSline system's outstanding quality makes it easier for physicians to assess images correctly and plan the next steps.
