NEW ORLEANS–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Enabling clinicians to seamlessly transition between cardiac and
peripheral intervention during a single procedure, InfinixTM DP-i
cardiovascular X-ray system from Toshiba America Medical Systems, Inc. will be
used in eight live cases at Peripheral Angioplasty and All That Jazz
conference, Oct. 31 – Nov. 2, 2011, New Orleans. The live cases will take place
at Ochsner Medical Center
and focus on:
- Monday, October 31: Symposium for Nurses and Technologists
- Tuesday, November 1: Atrial Septal Defect and Patent Foramen

The Infinix DP-i features two C-arms – 8″ x 8″
flat panel detector for cardiac and a 12″ x 16″ flat panel detector
for peripheral – allowing clinicians to use the most appropriate detector. When
combined with Toshibas proprietary Next Generation Advanced Image Processing
(AIP), Infinix DP-i provides improved visualization, helping clinicians more
quickly and accurately diagnose and treat patients.
“Infinix DP-is two independent yet dedicated C-arms result
in one system working like two, and there is no other system like it,” said
Stephen Bumb, director, X-ray Vascular Business Unit, Toshiba. “The ability to
switch flat panel detectors, coupled with superior contrast, dynamic resolution
and reduced image lag, allows for better visualization by both clinicians and
spectators, improving patient treatment and learning opportunities.”
