Leoni, the leading provider of cable systems to the automotive sector and other industries, is equipping a new generation of Siemens x-ray machines with an innovative data transmission cable. This hybrid cable, consisting of copper conductors, fiber optic cable and cooling hoses, transmits the high-resolution pictures of the flat image detectors. Thanks to its flexible structure, it supports the C-arm’s high degree of mobility around the patient and simultaneously enables excellent data throughput.
Leoni’s new hybrid cable transmits the high-resolution digital images from Trixell flat detectors on modern x-ray machines. The cable, designed specifically for the high demands in cardiology, is used for example in the high-end C-arms of Siemens’ well-known AXIOM Artis and Artis zee series – for instance in the Artis zee ceiling-mounted system, an extremely versatile system for angiocardiography, electrophysiology and general angiography. With the flat image detector, the latest C-arm generation supplies radiologists with brilliant-quality live images, for instance during catheter examination.
