Mobile angiograph alien e

The EDM and EAC functions ensure that images are always perfectly exposed and have the lowest possible dose, even if the image is not perfectly oriented. The two functions operate in real time due to the closed-loop control of “image quality – radiologic parameters”.

Each area of the body requires different radiologic parameters

EDM (Eurocolumbus Dose Management) function adapts the dose according to the characteristics of the body region under study, and the evaluation is performed at each detector point.

EAC (Eurocolumbus Automatic Control) determines and sets the correct exposure time to obtain the lowest possible dose. Both functions operate in real time.

WAD (Water Aided Dissipation): X-ray tube cooling system; thanks to a combination of dielectric oil in the middle of the radiology suite, as well as a cooling agent and an advanced heat exchanger, no fans (forced cooling) in the sterile area.

EHC (Eurocolumbus Heat Control): real-time thermal control thanks to immediate action in relation to changes in frames per second and / or pulse and / or imaging and radiological parameters, to ensure optimal system performance and prevent overheating.

The vertical and angular movements of the C-arm are fully motorized in alien e models. SID change is also motorized. Free C-arm positions can be stored in memory with four slots (more slots are available for predefined or DICOM positions). Eurocolumbus is the unique manufacturer in the world to offer a mobile C-arc with variable SID distance and an X-ray tube with an anode capacity of 400 – 600 ktu.

Better ergonomics – Lower dose and less noise – Better images – No magnification

Fully isocentric motorized C-arms: safer, faster, more accurate. These mechanical solutions (isocentricity, motorization and variable distance SID) are available in all fixed angiography systems.

Safety first! The new EPD (Eurocolumbus Proximity Detection) volumetric systems can have different and independent settings for the FPD side and for the X-ray side, both upper and lower lids. EPD senses the proximity of anatomical or metal parts, completely stopping the movement of the C-arc to prevent any collision.

There are two main reasons why this system is called “smart”. First, the system intervenes and stops all C-arm movement “before” a collision. Second, if the active anti-collision system intervenes while X-rays are being emitted, all C-arc motions are stopped, but it does not interfere with the emission of X-rays.

Proximity sensors cover the entire surface of both the FPD and the X-ray tube, ensuring complete safety, particularly when sterile coverings placed on the patient prevent the radiologist from clearly seeing the position of the X-ray tube under the operating table.

The alien e is equipped with all classic dose reduction systems:

• Digital image rotation
• Saving the position of the C-arc
• Saving collimator position
• Virtual collimator
• Automatic pulse/frame rate adjustment
• Automatic pulse/frame rate adjustment
• Laser guidance on the detector and/or X-ray tube side (optional)

But the significant dose reduction must be attributed to the new EBF (Eurocolumbus Beam Filtration) system, which, by means of a motorized rotating collimator, and depending on the anatomical technique used and the area of the body being examined, automatically inserts additional filters to reduce radiation.

The traditional curtain collimator has all movements: horizontal, vertical, asymmetric and concentric to guarantee maximum attention to the problem of reducing the dose absorbed by the patient and the operators.

alien e comes with two ETS15 user interfaces, one located on the C-arm and one at the rear of the monitor cart (the side that will be occupied by the x-ray operator). Both touch screens are 15.6″, synchronized with each other.

Due to the extremely high speed provided by our artificial intelligence systems, the ETS15 interfaces can operate either synchronously or separately. Up to four ETS15s can be installed per alien e, thereby increasing workflow exponentially.

Each ETS15 can reflect either one or two images of real-time and reference data, and allows for easy drawing of blood vessel contours and adding markers or annotations to the image.

Even sharing data with the hospital network (either via standard Ethernet network cable or wirelessly, thanks to the WLAN option) can be easily accomplished with the ETS15.
