Tokorozawa Heart Center uses Shimadzu's FPD-equipped angiography systems and has introduced DynamicStentView (StentView) software to support PCI procedures. StentView is used in almost all cases, particularly for stent re-expansion, fine positioning, and checking stent expansion. The software's real-time image display and image enhancements are highly valued, allowing for more accurate positioning and reducing procedure times.

Key benefits of StentView include:

Real-time image display for fine positioning and checking stent expansion
Image enhancements to show unevenness on thin stents
Reduced need for IVUS, saving time and reducing procedure complexity
Improved confidence during procedures, especially with high pressures
Useful in cases with lesions at flexural areas, stuck catheters, or longitudinally weak stents

The director expects future angiography systems to include features such as:

Rotational radiography with reduced exposure
Software to monitor and adjust radiation exposure to minimize patient burden
Improved image processing and display capabilities to enhance procedure accuracy and safety.
