High-end imaging no longer
requires high-energy output
with high-risk radiation.
Vascular protocols designed
for the OEC 9900 Elite feature
advanced power management
that maintains image quality
while reducing demands on
the system whether in the pulse
or low-dose modes, resulting in
reduced overall radiation levels.
Optimization of technical factors
and anatomy profile enable
visualization of vessels in the
thoraco-abdominal region and
penetration of dense anatomy.
Superior tube cooling capacity
assures optimum generator
performance is sustained during
long procedures.
According to the patient’s
anatomy and procedural
objectives, a surgeon can adapt
the OEC 9900 Elite to achieve
the right balance between
image quality and dose.
Branch repair of thoraco-abdominal aneurysms
can be real nightmares lasting seven or eight hours.
“ There is an enhanced cooling system with
the OEC 9900 Elite and I have never had to stop
a case because of overheating. I am always
able to magnify the way I want on whatever
area I need to see,
” said Prof. Haulon.
“ The focus is on dose. If I do not pay attention
the staff and I will walk out of the OR glowing
in the dark. That is why complete control of the
system becomes important.
Depending on the moment in the procedure,
I can switch from one mode to another, switch
from low dose to pulse modes. The control
panel gives me access to control everything.
