BEING THE FIRST HAS BEEN OUR VOCATION FOR MORE THAN 50 YEARS

In Italy to install flat panel systems To equip our systems with the Linux operating system To have a real R&D department To install anti-collision sensors To equip the C-arms with the variable SID To assemble multifunctional footswitches and wireless consoles We are the first to integrate FUSION software into our systems To propose C-arms with 3D We export our products entirely made in Italy all over the world

We present to you the fourth generation of alien e, a masterpiece of technology and ergonomics. It is probably the best instrument in the cardiovascular and endoscopic field for maximum dose reduction with the best image quality ever. 4

the best performing mobile C-arm on the market. The fourth generation of alien e is the diagnostic suite on wheels that is unrivalled in the field of Cardiology, Vascular Surgery and Interventional Endoscopy. EtherCAT EuroColumbus was the first Italian company to use the new EtherCAT technology, by far the fastest of all Ethernet technologies; this is able to guarantee synchronisation times within nanoseconds. The efficiency of the Applications has also increased thanks to much shorter transition times between the various steps of the processes. Parallel processes ensure better performance in...

Acquisition algorithm Multi-Scale Analysis The system management software, developed by the EuroColumbus R&D department using LINUX, is able to process radiological images with a maximum resolution of 3k x 3k in real time. All images are acquired, processed and stored at 16 bits, using the best technologies available on the market. In order to ensure full compliance with clinical dictates and not to create artefacts, no type of digital compression is carried out on the images. The heart of the algorithm consists of Multi-Scale pyramidal image decomposition analysis, based on the representation...

Resolution levels: the type of technology that EuroColumbus uses allows it to obtain images with the highest attainable level of definition

Thanks to the total control at every point of the acquisition, it is now possible to obtain a perfect 'image and^imultaneously reduce patient andlperator irradiation.

Total control at every point of the acquisition means the images are perfect even acquired at the edges and not in the centre of the detector. total control at every point of acquisition

Multilevel Dose Reduction During design, we always observe the principle of ALARA (As Low As Reasonable Achievable) and research and adopt specific solutions to reduce the dose of X-rays as much as possible without sacrificing the diagnostic quality of the image. To do this, we use the EuroColumbus Multilevel Dose Reduction system that includes various levels of dose reduction involving the use of tools designed in-house. The functions of the EuroColumbus Multilevel Dose Reduction EDM (Eurocolumbus Dose Management) determines the correct dose with detection on every single pixel of the detector....

EDS (Eurocolumbus Dose Speed) allows, once the perfect dose has been calculated, to vary the voltage in real time with a resolution of only 0.2 kV and, for the step current, of only 0.1 mA. ELD (Eurocolumbus Low Diffusion) applies additional filters to image noise, drastically reducing the dose. EBF (Eurocolumbus Beam Filtration) guarantees additional filtration of the X-ray beam with an additional motorised collimator. In addition to the basic filtration of 2.5 mm Al + 0.1 Cu, in fact, further filtration activity is guaranteed on the EuroColumbus C-arms with additional filters that automatically...

Multilevel Dose Reduction RDW (Reduction Dose Wide) the digital rotation of the images, the storage of the position of the arm and the virtual collimator, the automatic variations of pulse/ frame rate and the laser pointer on the sides of the FPD and/or X-ray tube, the extractable grid, the LED light to illuminate the sterile field to make positioning on the district to be examined easier: these are all means to guarantee a significant reduction of the dose. Even the variable SID (Source to Image Distance) helps to significantly reduce the dose, allowing the flat panel to be positioned closer...

CT70T IMAGING TABLE INTERFACE SYSTEM (optional) 16

We were the first to create a connecting interface between the C-arms and the imaging bed, in order to manage the vertical movements of the two systems at the same time and in a way that could be ergonomic and comfortable for both the operator and the patient. The interface is a fundamental prerequisite for working with the FUSION software.

FUSION SOFTWARE optional FUSION reduces the dose of the X-ray, the administered amount of the contrast medium and the duration of the surgical procedure, significantly reducing risks for the patient. FUSION allows the 3D visualisation of the operating districts and in real time of the instruments (catheters, stents, prostheses, etc.) as well as the simultaneous visualisation of the blood vessels (aorta, carotid, etc.) guiding the surgeon with extreme precision in the positioning of the prosthesis. With the use of pre-operative 3D images, FUSION minimises the need for subtractive X-ray acquisitions...

The ESVS (European Society for Vascular Surgery) in the latest update of “2023 Clinical Practice Guidelines on Radiation Safety” recommends (recommendation 17 and 18) the use of FUSION technology during aortic surgery procedures

High frequency generators EuroColumbus developed the EPB and EPA systems specifically for clinical applications that require high instantaneous power peaks, allowing energy to be drawn from existing electrical systems equipped with 13 - 16 A electrical sockets. Why don’t we use the monoblock system? Because only in this way is it possible to use tubes that have higher anode capacities and are smaller than those of monoblock technology. In a monoblock system, the heat produced by the X-ray tube is added to that produced by the generator. EPB (Eurocolumbus Power Boost) iis an energy reserve that...
