Siemens Fully Digital X-ray System Ysio

What is the Siemens Fully Digital X-ray System Ysio?

The Siemens Ysio is a fully digital X-ray radiography system (DR) that adopts a ceiling-suspended support design and a dual flat-panel detector configuration. It brings conventional X-ray radiography comprehensively into the digital era, enabling rapid image acquisition and high-definition display through flat-panel detector technology. The system integrates intelligent operational workflows, allowing automatic tracking of the X-ray tube position, preset imaging protocols for various anatomical regions, and control of the equipment motion trajectory via a wireless remote controller. Ysio not only meets routine examination requirements, but also enables full-spine radiography, full-length bilateral lower limb radiography, and other specialized functional-position radiographic imaging.

Indicated Patient Populations for the Siemens Fully Digital X-ray System Ysio

1. Routine health examination and outpatient patients

Applicable to large-scale health screening and routine outpatient patients for plain radiographic examinations of the chest, abdomen, extremities, and other body regions.

2. Emergency, critically ill, and trauma patients

For patients with multiple injuries caused by traffic accidents or trauma, multi-site imaging can be performed without moving the patient, thereby avoiding secondary injury caused by repositioning.

3. Patients with difficulty in special positioning

Patients with cervical spine fractures or lumbar spine fractures do not require lateral positioning and can undergo lateral radiography in the supine position; for patients with brain tumors, movement can be avoided to prevent the occurrence of cerebral herniation.

4. Patients with spinal and limb disorders

Applicable to special examination requirements such as full-spine scoliosis, full-length bilateral lower limbs, and weight-bearing/functional positions of the shoulder and knee joints.

5. Pediatric patients

The system can be used for both adult and pediatric X-ray radiographic examinations.

Advantages and Features of the Siemens Fully Digital X-ray System Ysio

1. Flexible ceiling-suspended design

The gantry can move rapidly and flexibly, with automatic tracking of the X-ray tube and flat-panel detector, enabling coverage of all examination procedures without moving the patient, which is particularly suitable for emergency and critically ill patients.

2. Wireless flat-panel detector

The portable DR flat-panel detector can perform imaging at any position within the examination room, meeting the projection requirements for special positioning and orthopedic clinical applications.

3. Low-dose high-definition imaging

A new-generation 9-megapixel flat-panel detector provides short exposure time and fast imaging speed, with low X-ray dose, while obtaining images with rich structural layers and clear visual quality.

4. High-throughput continuous operation

A stable gantry design and a high heat-capacity X-ray tube (783 KHU) adapt to high-intensity and high-volume patient examination demands, and are particularly suitable for health screening workflows.

5. Remote operation from outside the examination room

Equipped with a wireless remote controller, technicians can remotely adjust the position of the X-ray tube and flat-panel detector from outside the examination room, improving efficiency and reducing radiation exposure.

6. Value in specialized clinical applications

Supports full-spine radiography, full-length bilateral lower limb radiography, and imaging requirements for special positions such as femoral neck axial projections.

7. Extended imaging capabilities

Certain configurations support dual-energy radiography (separation of bone and soft tissue) and tissue equalization technology (simultaneous visualization of tissues with significantly different densities).

Applicable to all radiographic examinations, and particularly capable of better fulfilling the requirements for imaging in special positions.

I. For patients with cervical spine fractures or lumbar spine fractures, the Ysio bedside support and portable flat-panel detector enable lateral projection to be performed with the patient in the supine position, thereby avoiding new injuries caused by patient movement.

II. In patients with traffic accidents or trauma, multiple fractures are often present throughout the body, requiring large-range, multi-site radiographic projections to determine the lesions. Ysio can reduce the number of exposures by adjusting the positions of the X-ray tube and flat-panel detector, thereby lowering radiation dose and improving imaging speed.

III.1. A fast and convenient long-bone imaging function enables complete imaging of the full spine and bilateral lower limbs of the human body, with direct automatic stitching of multiple images, allowing intuitive visualization of the overall anatomical morphology of the spine and lower limbs as well as scoliotic regions. Moreover, standing full lower limb and full-spine imaging can accurately reflect postural changes in physiological functional morphology of the human body. Full-spine imaging has important reference value for the diagnosis and treatment of scoliosis and for the formulation of surgical plans.

2. Full-length bilateral lower limb radiography in the weight-bearing position enables observation of the extent and range of lesions and the overall morphology of the bilateral lower limbs, hip joints, and knee joints, as well as measurement of lower limb length, femoral angle, tibial angle, knee joint surface angle, and knee valgus angle. Full-length lower limb imaging has very important guiding significance for orthopedic procedures such as hip and knee joint corrective surgery and artificial joint replacement, providing important reference evidence for clinical treatment, and serving as an excellent method for preoperative and postoperative X-ray evaluation in orthopedic correction.
