Siemens launches Multix ceiling mounted DR system

July 14, 2021


Siemens MULTIX Impact COAKVILLE, Ont. – Siemens Healthineers announced that Health Canada has licensed the MULTIX Impact C ceiling-mounted digital radiography (DR) system – a new ceiling-mounted digital radiography (DR) system and also the MULTIX Impact VA20, a new version of the established MULTIX Impact floor-mounted parent DR system. Both systems expand access to high-quality imaging and enhance the patient experience.

The MULTIX Impact C and the MULTIX Impact VA20 each possess an intuitive operating system, versatile wireless detectors, motorized tube heads, and a free-floating, flat tabletop, which enables easy patient access. The touch user interface on the X-ray tube permits the radiologic technologist to remain by the patient’s side for longer periods of time. And when in the control room, the technologist can use the patient positioning camera to continuously monitor the patient.

The hallmark feature of the MULTIX Impact C and the MULTIX Impact VA20 is MyExam Companion – the user interface that provides proactive guidance to help technologists navigate a radiography procedure regardless of skill level.

MyExam Companion combines available patient data such as gender and age with other user or machine-observable, patient-specific information to identify optimal acquisition and reconstruction parameters for each patient and radiography procedure.

MyExam Companion’s camera-based Smart Virtual Ortho feature enables the technologist to set the field of view and adjust exposure parameters on the touchscreen using a live camera image of the patient, making long-leg and full-spine examinations faster to set up and easier to perform.

The Auto Full Spine and Auto Full Leg Collimation features use automated, artificial intelligence-based body-part detection and collimation to accelerate spine and leg examination workflows by analyzing the patient’s contour and adjusting the collimator blades in less than half a second.

“We are pleased to be able to offer our Canadian customers the flexibility to match radiography systems to their space, and clinical needs. Through new possibilities of digitalization, the intelligent imaging with myExam Companion guides you through any procedure, so you can interact naturally with both patient and technology – and generate consistent results every time,” says Peter Vidic, Business Manager X-Ray Systems, Siemens Healthineers, Canada.
