Mercy University Hospital Cork has boosted its imaging facilities with the installation of an Artis zee multipurpose interventional angiography system from Siemens Healthcare.

Lead interventional radiologist Dr Adrian Brady said: “Bringing the Artis zee into service has significantly improved the quality and versatility of IR imaging for our patients, substantially enhancing our capabilities in vascular and non-vascular interventional radiology.  Applications such as Dynavision allow us to achieve superb diagnostic angiography, and plan complicated vascular interventions more quickly than before, using less contrast and with a lower risk of nephrotoxicity.”
