Digital Angio Development of SUREengine New High - Speed Real - Time Image Processing Engine

Radiography/fluoroscopy systems used for medical diagnostic imaging have evolved considerably. In more recent years, their role has expanded beyond diagnostics and they are used for treatment as well. In particular, they are rapidly being adopted for treatment of vascular lesions because of their lower impact on the patients. Remarkable progress has been made on techniques as well, allowing them to be used on increasingly more peripheral and more detailed locations. Users demand the systems provide excellent contrast, even for detailed areas, and consistent image quality, even when observing from a variety of angles. Therefore, Shimadzu has now developed the SUREengine (Shimadzu Ultimate Real-time Enhancement Engine), a new high-speed real-time image processing system designed to provide even higher image quality by taking full advantage of Shimadzu’s direct-conversion FPD, which offers exceptionally high sensitivity and resolution.
