Infinix DP-i/FPD delivers outstanding images for cardiac and peripheral angiography.

High-definition CCD digital cameraThe 16-inch imaging chain is optimized for peripheralanatomy (carotids, renals and leg runoffs). It features a high-definition CCD camerathat delivers high dynamic rangeand resolution for ultra-sharpimages of fine blood vessels.With a 1,024 ✕ 1,024 pixelmatrix, the camera is ideal forfine detail visualization.

New-generation image processing Both fluoroscopic and radiographic image data undergoreal-time image processing. A dynamic patternrecognition filter and a dynamic digital compensationfilter work simultaneously to enhance high-definitionimages of small devices and structures.

High-performancemonitorsOperators can easily view the 21-inch,blue-based monitors in ambient roomlighting. The monitors have an ultra-brightness specification of 800 cd persquare meter.

Flat panel detector Toshiba’s high-definition cardiac flat panel (C-panel)delivers superior contrast and dynamic resolution. Fluoroimages captured by the C-panel demonstrate a finebalance of low noise and easy visualization of smalldetail, in both dynamic and static mode. The C-panelaccurately displays intricate blood vessels and smalldevices such as catheters and guide wires. Its large 8" ✕8" field of view offers superior coverage for coronaryimaging, and yields enhanced left ventricular assessment.The C-panel has a 1,024 ✕ 1,024 pixel matrix with up to30 fps imaging, making it ideal for fast motion studies.

Elegant design enhances patient and operator comfortThe Infinix DP-i/FPD system incorporates simple, natural curves in its elegant and compact design, makingit easier to use for the operator, while providingincreased patient comfort.

Easy C-arm positioning reduces exam time The offset design of the C-arm places it to the left of thepatient. The design also leaves ample space around thepatient’s head so the operator can easily communicatewith and position the patient, leading to faster exams.

Fast motion and deep angle for ease of use The slim, contoured C-arm’s high-speed rotation and free-angle movement let cardiologists position it quicklyand precisely, even at extreme angles. The C-arm alsodelivers fast, reliable, deep angulations, as for a four-chamber view or a spider view.

Liquid-metal bearing X-ray tubes

Two liquid-metal bearing X-ray tubes are included— one for cardiac and one for full-body imaging

Liquid-metal bearing system provides anti-abrasionperformance for extended tube life and reducedoperating costs

3.0 MHU anode heat-capacity virtually eliminates tube overheating and ensures high throughput

Unique triple-focus design (0.3 mm/0.6 mm/1.0 mm)provides small focal-spot redundancy for fail-safecardiac imaging

Acoustically quiet operation permits clearcommunication among physician, staff and patient

Flexible C-arm for peripheral angiography The C-arm’s double-track suspension provides head-to-toe and right-to-left patient coverage. A tablesideoperator can assume the most convenient location for afull range of procedures.

Rotational DSA (option)

The C-arm can rotate at up to 40 degrees per second,obtaining detailed 2D images of blood vessels fromvarious angles. Rotational DSA can acquire informationfrom both arterial and venous phases through theaddition of a second contrast cycle.

3D-Angio (option)

High-resolution 3D images are obtained at up to 50degrees per second, with the industry’s highestacquisition rate of 50 frames per second. Standard 3Dimages are displayed in approximately 3 minutes at fullresolution, speeding workflow.

Peripheral DSA (option)

One injection of contrast media yields accurate digitalsubtraction angiography (DSA) images of the arterialsystem of the lower extremities, thanks to the precisestepping function of the examination table.

Sturdy table design To accommodate a wide range of patients, the tablesupports a maximum patient weight of 480 pounds — one of the highest capacities in the industry. It can bearan additional 220 pounds of pressure for CPR.

Using the Infinix DP-i/FPD’s ceiling-mounted image intensifier, operators can quickly

examine the whole body.

To guide operators through all the steps in an exam, Infinix DP-i/FPD is equipped with

Sequential Navigation. When a physician needs to quickly “navigate” through an exam

(e.g., coronary, carotid, renal or runoff), the system can duplicate the preferred angles,

projections and acquisition parameters. One touch of a button is all it takes to navigate

through the routine settings for each exam type. Of course, operators have the freedom

to change any parameter as needed, without disrupting Sequential Navigation

throughout the procedure.

Infinix DP-i/FPD can store virtually any number of customized exam typesfor any number of operators. This feature is unique to Toshiba and boostsproductivity dramatically.

Parallel and background processing Infinix DP-i/FPD employs parallel data processing to boost productivity. For example, during fluoroscopy and fluorography, operators can preparefor the next scheduled patient; process and print images from a previous(or current) study; and transfer or archive images to an associated network.

PrevisionOperators can easily enter and store patient registration information beforea procedure. They can access the patient information database and retrieveprevious studies from the archive for comparison with the current exam.

Automation improves workflow Digital automated technology enhances workflow at each phase of aninterventional procedure, letting physicians complete procedures as quicklyas possible.

The Infinix DP-i/FPD features the most comprehensive dose-reduction package available.

Virtual collimation After fluoroscopy, virtual collimation uses software tosimulate collimator positions. This lets operators adjustcollimation without additional fluoroscopy, further reducingradiation dose.

Tantalum filter (X-ray beam filter) Toshiba’s unique tantalum filtration dramatically reducesabsorbed patient dose and radiation scattered back to theoperator. Tantalum reduces dose much like copper does, butoffers a superior signal-to-noise ratio, which translates toimproved image quality.

Digital-pulsed and low-rate pulsed fluoroscopy By merging digital-pulsed fluoroscopy with new-generation image-processing technology, Toshiba takesimaging to a new level. Fluoroscopy takes less time and more readily detects devices such as cathetersand guide wires. And only Toshiba offers asynchronous frame rates. Available frame rates range from oneto 30 fps, yielding high-quality images and the lowest necessary dose for a range of procedures.

Variable dose mode With the touch of a button, the operator can choose fromfour pre-programmed fluoroscopy modes. Differentcombinations of pulse rate, dose level, and image processingparameters optimize various study protocols.

Electronic zoom Electronic zoom digitally enlarges images in real time duringfluoroscopy, without increasing dose. This eliminates theneed to use smaller fields of view on the detector formagnification purposes, which would increase the doserequired.

Fluoroscopic acquisition Operators can capture still and dynamic images for futurereference during fluoroscopy. These archived imagesrepresent an alternative to fluorography and a major reduction in dose exposure.

Dose control (option)

Radiation dose can be monitored in real time. The operatorcan observe dose levels on a digital display in theexamination room.

The Infinix DP-i/FPD comes standard with the

six major DICOM service classes, reducing

exam time and increasing throughput.

DICOM is optional with systems from

some other manufacturers.

DICOM CD-R and DVD-RAMCD-Rs and DVD-RAMs serve as long-term storagemedia for valuable image data and both supportDICOM 3.0. During re-examinations, physicians can access stored images for reference.

DICOM print DICOM print exports images to DICOM-compliantprinters. A virtual film function lets the operatorpreview the final print and adjust its compositionand presentation for optimal print quality.

DICOM storage commitment, query/retrieve Operators can archive images to a network andretrieve images from past examinations for reviewand as reference map images.

DICOM modality worklistmanagement, performedprocedure step Operators and staff can access scheduledexams and transmit exam results directly tohospital information systems.
