Freeman Hospital, part of Newcastle upon Tyne Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, has installed a ceiling mounted Artis zee from Siemens Healthcare for real-time interventional imaging in angiography procedures. 

Situated in the interventional radiology suite, the Artis zee is primarily used for general endovascular interventions and also for a variety of specialised procedures such as endovascular aneurysm repair work.
