The com pany is the perfect partner for transformational technologies to accelerate diagnosis. Medical Imaging platforms Based on more than 100 years of extensive clinical experience in X-ray technologies, Shimadzu provides a multitude of radiographic and fluoroscopic systems, both either floor- or ceiling mounted, and mobile units. World-leading technology, cutting-edge appli- cations and functionalities enhance healthcare providers’examina- tion efficiency and safety while reducing the radiation dose. Laboratory systems Shimadzu’s analytical instrumentation units support healthcare and diagnosis applications through chromatography, mass spectrometry, spectroscopy, and life sciences. Shimadzu’s world-leading quantita- tive mass spectrometry systems are utilized for various applications, e.g. TDM (Therapeutic Drug Monitoring), NBS (Newborn screening), toxicology, steroid and vitamin analysis. The instruments provide high-speed methods and high sensitivity for multi-component simultaneous analysis even at low concentrations. Passion for details New diagnostic imaging systems and units with best-in-class features and new functionalities provide excellent image quality for a wide range of efficient examinations. Patients benefit from a high level of comfort and low exposure dose, and clinical staff from oper- ability, better patient coverage and throughput. Trinias MiX package Shorter treatment times and less contrast media used The newly released Trinias MiX package (Minimally invasive eXpe- rience) supports less invasive treatments through a variety of applications. The Trinias MiX package is an extension of the Trinias angiography system, which facilitates high-level interventions using a proprietary image processing technology. The functional enhancements of the Trinias MiX package cover the following applications: • SCORE Navi + Plus 3D Application interlinked with previously acquired CT images imports pre-procedural MDCT images and links them with fluoroscopy images, allowing a seamless workflow from preoperative treatment to perioperative navigation. • SCORE StentView + Plus PCI Support Application improves device detection efficiency displaying stents in a fixed position in real- time even in procedures using multiple devices, thereby shorten- ing treatment times. • SCORE MAP provides automatic trace mapping for aortic stent grafting automatically extracts and displays only the outline of vessel walls providing a map image for easy device guidance.
