About the Philips Allura Xper FD20 Cath/Angio System
The Philips Allura Xper FD20 delivers dynamic 2K flat detector imaging that outperforms conventional x-ray systems in both cardiac and vascular interventions. XperCT technology lets you assess soft tissue before, during, or after procedures without moving the patient to a separate CT suite.
Real-time hemodynamic monitoring integrates directly with imaging acquisition, while Xper personalization adapts workflows to individual clinician preferences. The system’s 3D-RA package generates high-resolution 3D images from a single rotational run. StentBoost technology enhances stent visualization during deployment, and the short version is that you’ll spend less time repositioning and more time treating.
The free-floating Xper tabletop handles high patient loads while BodyGuard protection reduces collision risk between detector and patient. Worth noting: the optional Automatic Position Controller stores programmable positions with tilt, cradle, and pivot movements for reproducible imaging geometry.
