MicroFluor Interventional Radiology

MicroFluor is a ground-breaking advance in Interventional Radiology for its ability to display real-time x-ray images of microscopic anatomical detail, magnified up to 20 times.

This capability results from the extraordinary resolution of the MXRA real-time x-ray camera employed in the MicroFluor fluoroscope.

The MXRA camera has 5 times greater resolution than any fluoroscopic technology in use today. This unmatched resolution permits, for the first time, the x-ray image recorded by the MXRA detector to be optically magnified up to 20 times, thereby performing as an x-ray video microscope. (Optical magnification is not to be confused with computer pseudo magnification which just enlarges pixels)

As an example, a 1 mm (0.04") diameter deployed stent will be video displayed nearly 1 inch in diameter, with every wire of the stent structure visible. The actual stent deployment can be recorded as a video movie.

Due to the sensitivity of the MXRA camera, it produces the exceptional fluoroscopic image detail described, with significantly less x-ray power requirements than any existing fluoroscopic system. This translates into dramatically lower radiation dose to both the patient and the surgeon.
