Siemens Healthineers has received FDA clearance for six interventional imaging systems that incorporate the company’s new Optiq AI imaging chain, expanding its Artis portfolio for image-guided procedures.
The systems include floor-, ceiling- and biplane-mounted versions of the Artis vision platform, along with a robotic floor-mounted pheno configuration. The clearance also covers floor-mounted configurations of the Artis icono.explore and Artis genio systems.
The Optiq AI imaging chain uses artificial intelligence to analyze and optimize imaging data in real time. According to the company, the platform applies deep-learning-based noise reduction across 2D imaging modes including fluoroscopy, acquisition imaging and digital subtraction angiography. Siemens Healthineers said the technology is designed to improve image clarity during interventional procedures.

The expanded portfolio targets a range of clinical and operational settings. The Artis vision systems are intended for image-guided procedures that require high speed and precision, while the Artis icono.explore is designed for facilities focused on patient throughput. The Artis genio system is positioned as a multipurpose platform for broader procedural use.
“As more complex procedures come to interventional labs, increased precision is of paramount importance,” said Kris McVey, head of angiography in the Advanced Therapies business at Siemens Healthineers North America. “Our new Artis portfolio powered by Optiq AI delivers the high level of image quality clinicians rely upon to guide these intricate procedures, while taking into account the needs and budget of every type of healthcare facility.”
Additional features across the portfolio include syngo DynaCT MORE, a 3D imaging application intended to reduce motion-related artifacts during intraprocedural imaging. The systems also include the company’s Touch UI interface, which allows clinicians and technologists to access system controls at the tableside.
Siemens Healthineers, based in Erlangen, Germany, said the portfolio is intended to provide a more standardized user experience across interventional suites.
