Philips partners Cydar to improve Zenition mobile C-arm system

NETHERLANDS – Philips has announced that it has integrated advanced new 3D image guidance capabilities into its Zenition image-guided therapy mobile C-arm system through a collaboration with Cydar.

The agreement with Cydar, a provider of cloud-based procedure maps software for real-time surgery planning and guidance, aims to improve workflow efficiency and endovascular treatment outcomes.

Patient-specific real-time procedure planning and guidance, optimization of equipment utilization, and usability have become increasingly important as patient numbers increase and procedures become more complex and time-consuming.

To address these issues, Philips Image-Guided Therapy Mobile C-arm System – Zenition – combines innovations in image capture and processing, ease-of-use, and versatility.

The Zenition mobile C-arm system, like Azurion, enables hospitals to maximize operating room performance, improve clinical capabilities, and provide staff with a consistent user experience.

The addition of Cydar EV Maps software to the Zenition platform now allows for extended procedure planning and real-time 3D guidance.

Karim Boussebaa, Philips’ general manager for image guided therapy systems, remarked that the firm “recognizes that Cydar’s EV Maps solution can play a key role in further improving our integrated offering for endovascular procedures.”

Meanwhile, Cydar CEO Paul Mussenden said that “the benefits of this combined solution, with integrated and enhanced procedure planning and visualization, include shorter and more predictable procedure times, reduced X-ray exposure to patients and staff, and fewer injections of iodine dye – the leading cause of in-hospital kidney failure.”

The Zenition platform, according to Philips, includes innovations in image capture and processing, ease-of-use, and versatility, allowing hospitals to “maximize operating room performance, enhance clinical capabilities, and provide staff with a seamless user experience.”

Cydar EV Maps, in particular, is an FDA-approved and CE-marked software-as-a-medical-device that aids in the planning, real-time guidance, and post-procedure review of endovascular surgery.

The addition of new 3D imaging capabilities to a mobile C-arm system may improve procedure planning, improve real-time intraoperative guidance, and significantly shorten endovascular surgery procedure times.

Endovascular surgeons using Philips’ Zenition image-guided therapy mobile C-arm system will now have advanced 3D image guidance capabilities, thanks to a new partnership agreement between Philips and the United Kingdom-based company Cydar, which specializes in cloud-based procedure map software.
