The 12" x 16" flat panel detector is designed for low-noise, high-resolution

fluoroscopic imaging. With four selectable fields of view, the operator can

optimize the view based on anatomical region, and with imaging at up to

30 fps, the optimum fluoroscopic image for

interventional exams is achieved.

Infinix VC-i is equipped with Sequential Navigation. For physicians to quickly

navigate through an exam (e.g., coronary, carotid, renal or runoff), Infinix VC-i

executes the preferred angles, projections, and acquisition parameters, all from

memory. One touch of a button is all it takes to navigate through the routine

settings for each exam type. Of course, operators have the freedom to change any

parameter throughout the procedure without disrupting Sequential Navigation.
