CHICAGO--Siemens Medical Solutions has introduced the AXIOM Luminos dRF, a new remote fluoroscopy system with flat detector (FD) technology, and announced enhancements to the AXIOM Aristos FX Plus, the company’s fully automatic digital radiography system, at the 92nd Scientific Assembly and Annual Meeting of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) from Nov. 26 to Dec. 1 (booth #4129) in Chicago. Together, these product innovations reinforce Siemens’ workflow leadership in the fluoroscopy and radiography markets.

Siemens AXIOM Luminos dRF is a highly versatile remote radiographic and fluoroscopic solution with dynamic FD technology that makes the system a fully digital solution for enhanced workflow during fluoroscopic and radiographic examinations. The system has been designed to optimize fluoroscopy imaging of obese patients. This is in response to studies that suggest obesity in the U.S. has doubled the instances of inconclusive imaging exams over the past 15 years. With almost 30 percent of U.S. adults now categorized as obese, Siemens developed the AXIOM Luminos dRF to speed workflow for bariatric procedures.


The system can be used for a wide range of patient sizes and minimizes specialty equipment requirements, resulting in improved patient accessibility, faster patient turnaround and, ultimately, an increase in volume. The AXIOM Luminos dRF also includes optimized networking capabilities for documentation and easy integration into the clinical environment.

“The AXIOM Luminos dRF remote radiographic and fluoroscopic solution will greatly improve exam workflow,” said Claus Grill, vice president, Angiography, Fluoroscopy and Radiography Systems, Siemens Medical Solutions. “Having the ability to image patients quickly with diagnostic accuracy means that healthcare institutions can increase exam volume and improve staff efficiency without sacrificing the quality of patient care.”

The sophisticated system design of the AXIOM Luminos dRF also provides a variable table height along with excellent access to the patient. Improved high table weight capacity now supports up to 500 pounds static, and a robust X-ray tube combined with the large field of view of the FD enables this system to perform a broad range of applications on many different patient types. The AXIOM Luminos dRF fluoroscopy system with FD technology integrates fully digital fluoroscopy and digital radiography in one room.
