In interventional medicine, not every system is designed for a single disease. For hospitals that perform multi-disciplinary minimally invasive treatments, it is more important to have an imaging platform capable of meeting the needs of different anatomical regions, specialties, and procedural approaches. The Philips UNIQ FD20 is a large-scale digital subtraction angiography system that provides stable, clear, and continuous imaging support for vascular examinations and minimally invasive interventional procedures.
For patients, its significance lies not only in "seeing more clearly," but more importantly in assisting physicians to more accurately assess lesions, plan procedural pathways, and provide real-time guidance during treatment.
1. Broad Range of Applications, Providing Imaging Support for Multiple Interventional Treatments
As a versatile large flat-panel angiography system, the Philips UNIQ FD20 can be widely applied in interventional treatments related to oncology, cardiovascular diseases, cerebrovascular diseases, and peripheral vascular diseases, and is also suitable for certain non-vascular minimally invasive procedures. For example, tumor interventional therapies such as those for liver cancer, as well as interventional diagnosis and treatment for coronary artery disease, cerebrovascular diseases, and peripheral vascular diseases, can all be performed with the support of such a system.
Within our hospital's comprehensive treatment framework, the Philips UNIQ FD20 is not limited to a single disease type but serves multi-disciplinary minimally invasive diagnosis and treatment, providing essential imaging guidance support for tumor interventional therapy and other complex diseases.
2. Larger Flat-Panel Imaging Coverage, Enabling More Composed Management of Complex Treatments
The Philips UNIQ FD20 adopts a large flat-panel detector design, allowing coverage of a broader imaging range while meeting interventional needs across different anatomical regions, including the heart, cerebrovascular system, and peripheral vasculature.
For physicians, this facilitates stable imaging across various treatment scenarios, enabling clearer observation of vascular pathways, stenosis, occlusion, malformations, or lesion blood supply, and more accurate intraoperative assessment of the relationship between instruments and lesions.
For patients, this means the system is not limited to a single specialty but can support a wider range of minimally invasive interventional procedures.
3. Integration of High-Definition Imaging and 3D Reconstruction for More Accurate Treatment Decisions
The Philips UNIQ FD20 features digital high-definition imaging capabilities and supports three-dimensional reconstruction as well as multiple image processing functions, providing continuous support for preoperative assessment, intraoperative guidance, and postoperative review. In interventional procedures, clearer imaging enables physicians to more easily identify vascular pathways, lesion extent, and instrument positioning changes, thereby allowing more accurate formulation and adjustment of treatment strategies.
In certain complex cases, 2D imaging may not fully present the relationship between lesions and surrounding structures, whereas three-dimensional reconstruction and stereoscopic visualization allow more intuitive identification of anatomical positioning, procedural pathway planning, and assessment of treatment scope.
4. Multi-Image Fusion Guidance for Closer Integration Between Preoperative Assessment and Intraoperative Treatment
The Philips UNIQ FD20 supports integration with imaging data from CT, MRI, and ultrasound. This means that during interventional procedures, physicians rely not only on real-time angiographic images but also on pre-existing imaging data for more comprehensive analysis and guidance.
This multi-image fusion capability is particularly valuable in tumor interventions, complex vascular lesions, and certain puncture procedures, helping to more closely integrate preoperative evaluation, intraoperative guidance, and treatment execution, thereby enhancing procedural precision.
5. Enhanced Dose Management to Reduce Unnecessary Exposure for Patients
Many patients are concerned about radiation exposure associated with angiography. In practice, modern angiography systems not only pursue image clarity but also increasingly emphasize dose management. The Philips UNIQ FD20 is equipped with dose optimization and monitoring systems, aiming to minimize unnecessary exposure while meeting clinical imaging requirements.
This does not mean the "absence of radiation," but rather reflects a stronger balance between image quality and dose control. For procedures involving longer fluoroscopy time or higher complexity, such management helps reduce unnecessary exposure while ensuring imaging adequacy.
6. Multi-Disciplinary Platform Synergy, Providing Stronger Support for Comprehensive Treatment
The value of the Philips UNIQ FD20 lies not only in being a device for vascular examination, but in functioning as a platform serving multi-disciplinary minimally invasive interventional treatment. It integrates high-definition imaging, 3D visualization, image fusion, and dose management to provide more comprehensive imaging support for the precise treatment of complex cases.
At Jinshazhou Hospital of Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine, the UNIQ FD20 works in coordination with the interventional team, imaging assessment capabilities, and the comprehensive oncology treatment system, further enhancing the hospital's capabilities in tumor interventional therapy, neurointervention, cardiovascular intervention, and peripheral vascular intervention. Supported by the synergy of equipment, clinical teams, and integrated treatment platforms, the hospital is able to provide patients with more precise, minimally invasive, and continuous diagnostic and therapeutic options.
