The optimal flat panel detector, the direct-conversion FPD from Shimadzu, has resulted in a big-plane system which best supports neurointervention procedures.

Shimadzu, a pioneer in angiography systems equipped with direct-conversion FPDs, introduces the BRANSIST safire, a bi-plane system that provides outstanding image quality and a safe, smooth workflow for neurointervention procedures. 

Direct Conversion Provides outstanding Image Sharpness 
To render micro-vessels and devices clearly, the design of this system`s direct-conversion FPD uses extremely small pixels of just 150µm. BRANSIST safire`s clear rendering of micro-vessels and sensitive devices used for interventional procedures provides a powerful tool for examinations and treatments. 

Ultra-High-Definition Real-Time DSA 
A direct-conversion FPD makes ultra-high-definition real-time DSA possible and can be applied not only to intervention procedures in head regions, but the entire body as well, including the chest and extremities.

Flexible Positioning to Suit the Technique 
Although the BRANSIST safire is floor-mounted, it can perform examinations on all areas of the body thanks to the world`s first triple-pivot design (3 axes), located at the base of the frontal arm. Transverse coverage is up to 140 cm so there is no need to move the patient or pivot the tabletop, even for catheter approaches or when imaging the wrist and arm. Positioning that allows approaches from the head are effective for cerebral examinations and for pediatric examinations.
