Kainan Hospital introduced the BRANSIST safire VC17 angiography system with a 17 × 17-inch FPD, the first of its kind in the world. The system features a ceiling-mounted C-arm, capable of performing various angiography procedures, including DA, DSA, and 3D-DSA. Key specifications include:

17 × 17-inch direct-conversion FPD with 3,072 × 3,072 total pixels and 2,880 × 2,880 effective pixels
Acquisition rates of 30/15/7.5/5/3/2 fps
Effective field sizes of 17/15/12/9/6 inches
Pixel pitch of 150 µm and dynamic range of 14 bits

The system offers several advantages, including:

Automation of aging and calibration, reducing preparation time
Whole-body coverage with the C-arm set behind the head, at the right or left side, or in intermediate positions
Large range of movement covering 160 cm in the transverse direction and 287 cm in the longitudinal direction
Easy operability with the "Cyber Grip" controller and "Direct Memory" auto-positioning function
Independent live and reference monitors for easy image reference and processing

The hospital has found the system to be highly effective, with benefits including:

Reduced contrast medium usage due to simultaneous radiography of both legs
Easy handling of brachial, radial, and femoral approaches
Improved operability and reduced preparation time
* Enhanced image quality and processing capabilities

Overall, the BRANSIST safire VC17 has improved the hospital's angiography capabilities, providing high-quality images and streamlined procedures.
