System Overview
2.1
Fields of application
The Ziehm Vision and Ziehm Vision² are mobile C-arm X-ray image
intensifiers which are suitable for all surgical applications in traumatology, orthopedics, neurosurgery, urology and cardiology, for use in gastroenterology and endoscopy as well as for all vascular applications.
Ziehm Vision
Ziehm Vision²
The fully-digital Ziehm Vision FD and Ziehm Vision² FD are suitable for
more demanding vascular interventions requiring a high level of precision. As the system is distortion-free, it is especially suitable for afterloading treatment planning and navigation.
Ziehm Vision FD
Ziehm Vision² FD
The Ziehm Vision R has a rotating anode and is therefore especially
suitable for applications where high power output is required. This may
be the case e.g. in vascular surgery for AAA procedures (Abdominal
Aortic Aneurysms), especially performed on adipose patients in order to
penetrate the object. This feature is also essential in cardiologic procedures, where small vessels of fast-moving objects need to be visualized.
To reduce motion blur, the exposure time intervals are minimized while
the dose rate is increased.
Ziehm Vision R
The systems are intended for use with human beings of any age. It is the
physician's responsibility to decide whether to use the system with
infants, children and adipose patients. The systems can be used for the
whole human body without restriction (e.g. organs, tissue, bones,
implants) depending on the medical indication.
With its color screen the monitor cart (endoscopy) is specifically
equipped for visualizing endoscopic applications.
Endoscopy
In order to user the monitors as image display devices of a certain application category, you must inspect them according to the legal regulations
of DIN V 6868-57 or other applicable national regulations,

Features
Mobility
With its compact design and combined steering & braking system, the
systems offer unrestricted mobility at the operating table, even if space is
scarce.
The easy adjustability of the C-arm and the excellent counterbalancing of
the systems make it possible to access even the most difficult positions.
Anatomical programs
Computer-controlled anatomical programs ensure efficient exposure rate
and image quality control as well as high operating comfort. A ‘Soft’
program for soft tissue visualization during foreign body and implants
localization and a ‘Metal’ program for suppressing image flare resulting
from the use of metal implants and surgical instruments complete the
automatic functions.
Radiation dose
reduction
The superior penetration capabilities of the pulsed digital high-frequency
generator along with a reduced pulse rate enable a significant reduction
in the patient skin dose.
Radiation-free collimation is provided by the system’s ‘Virtual Collimator’.
Image quality
Flat-screen monitors guarantee flicker-free images. The advanced Full
Frame Technology, which uses non-interlacing throughout the entire
image processing chain, generates noise-free images without motion
artifacts, even if the subject has moved.
Ziehm Vision
Running in pulsed fluoroscopy mode, the Ziehm Vision allows a significant dose reduction.
Ziehm Vision FD
The Ziehm Vision FD features a fully-digital image processing chain. The
digital flat-panel detector ensures distortion-free images.
Ziehm Vision R
The Ziehm Vision R provides short pulses of high intensity.
Image adjustment
Comprehensive real-time image processing functions (customizable
noise and area filtering, electronic contrast and brightness adjustment,
zooming, radiation-free horizontal and vertical image reversal, digital
image rotation) ensure excellent adaptation of the image quality and orientation on the screen to the surgeon’s needs.
Further image processing functions are available for saved images
(post-processing).
Advanced Active
Cooling
2-2
The Advanced Active Cooling system allows for nearly unlimited fluoroscopy times, being often indispensable e.g. in cardiac and vascular
surgery or endoscopic applications.

Images can be stored in the following formats:
PC-compatible TIF format
PC-compatible JPEG format with reduced resolution and reduced
color depth
DICOM format
DICOM format with reduced resolution and reduced color depth
Multimedia format: AVI (CD or DVD)
The system documents not only patient-related data, but also imagerelated data (e.g. the fluoroscopy parameters).
In addition, all systems have a video output.
The optional DICOM 3.0 interface (Ziehm NetPort) enables integration
into any network supporting DICOM, e.g. PACS. Thanks to ‘Primary
Capture’ support, the original fluoroscopic images can be archived
without the changes which may have been applied to them later. The following DICOM classes are supported: Print, Storage (including multiframe capability), Storage Commitment, Media, Worklist, MPPS, Query/
Retrieve and Verification.
Networkability
It is possible to connect and configure several DICOM servers for each
DICOM Class.
