Villa APOLLO Remote Fluoro system

Apollo

Apollo is the next generation remote controlled RF system designed for maximum patient throughput and application flexibility.
In the demanding environment of your imaging department, Apollo is one step ahead in the direction of efficiency. A perfect mix of flexibility, ease of use, image quality and connectivity allow you to get the best out your RF room.

Innovation and safety

Special attention is given to patient's dose reduction, by employing a number of provisions, such as low-absorption tabletop materials (plastic or carbon fiber), reduced skin-to-film-distance, automatic collimation, fully automatic parameter settings in both fluoro and exposure (zero point technique). Four sides open access and one of the industry's lowest tabletop height will ease patient loading operations, as well as procedures requiring support personnel to operate in the table area. The new Touch Screen interface, with its hi-tech look and feel in line with Apollo's performance, allows to further improve the system's usability.

Increased workflow

The wide scanning range provides complete patient coverage without the need for longitudinal tabletop movement, resulting in faster positioning and better patient comfort. The powerful spot film device with line and cross divisions will fit every application need. A unique cassette loading and unloading mechanism speeds up even this frequent operation. All table movements can also be activated via the tableside keypad to improve efficiency during the patient preparation phase.

Outstanding image quality on every radiographic exam

Reduced skin to receptor distance, fully automatic zero point technique, state of the art CCD cameras with advanced noise reduction algorithms, are the key to consistent image quality in every application. Should your intention be to go digital, we can provide you with our solution based on Image Intensifier technology: the new Diva-HDE with its 1K x 1K, 12 bit camera and up to 25 frames per second acquisition speed in fluoroscopy. The optional image intensifier lift device is also available to further improve the digital image quality.

Wide scope of application

Apollo maximizes the flexibility of the remote controlled RF approach. Skeletal, GI, tomography, vascular, ERCP are performed easily and quickly. Chest exams are also possible thanks to the continuously adjustable Source to Image Distance, which can arrive of up to 180 cm, depending on the specific Apollo version. Extremities can easily be executed with the patient standing only a few centimetres above the floor. Fully electronic bi-directional tomography without connection bar, can be performed on film or in digital mode and in any position of the table.
The optional stepping angio package can be supplied for peripheral angiography.

Apollo Open

The Open configuration of Apollo allows a total access to the patient from any side of the tabletop in a fast, comfortable and safe way. This complete accessibility allows also to perform any interventional procedure that might become necessary, without any limitation; the operator has therefore the possibility to act rapidly and effectively.
The carbon fiber tabletop allows on the Apollo Open a maximum patient load of 230 kg (507 lbs.) without limitations in movement, allowing the access also to bariatric patients.

Villa VISION 90/15 conventional Fluoro system

Vision 

Vision is a high performance conventional R/F system from Villa Sistemi Medicali designed to perform all kinds of R/F studies with the maximum efficiency and ease. Thanks to its flexibility, user friendliness and compact dimensions Vision is the ideal choice for a "light" R/F system.
Vision can be equipped with different high frequency generators with power levels from 50 to 80kW and a wide range of X-ray tubes that can be chosen to comply with the requirements of your R/F room.

Designed around the Spot Film Device

The design of Vision has been specially focused on the Spot Film Device, fully microprocessor controlled with in-line and cross divisions, able to cover all routine applications. The front-loading cassette tray is power assisted, cassette loading and unloading can be performed using just one hand. Fast and accurate cassette positioning assures fast switching between fluoro and exposure mode. The under-table multi-leaf collimator is provided with an automatic SID compensation system that ensures a

Compact footprint

Vision can be provided with an undertable bucky to be used in combination with a floor mounted tubestand or ceiling suspension to create a full-feature diagnostic room. Thanks to its compact footprint, Vision can also be installed in very small facilities. Room size information is keyed into the system by the service engineer during installation, making it possible for software algorithms to recognize the room dimensions and prevent any collision of the unit with floor, ceiling or walls.

Ergonomic control panel for an easy use

A clear, multilingual alphanumeric display shows all the information relevant to table operation as well as warnings, fault and error messages. Fluoro and exposure pushbuttons are located on two sides of the spot film device. Movements can be activated by means of easy-to-handle joysticks located on the spot film device panel and by an additional table-side keypad. Automatic centering is available on tilting and tabletop movements

Highest performance and safety for all routine RF examinations

Vision can fit every need in terms of performance and application thanks to the intrinsic configuration flexibility. The possibility to choose between a 2 way or a 4 way system, is one example of the maximum adaptability of the system. Vision can mount either 9" (23 cm) or 12" (31 cm) Image Intensifiers, according to your application needs. Both models come with a three-field zoom selection, CCD camera and Last Image Hold function. Safety of all movements is actively guaranteed by a dedicated microprocessor used as a controller that continuously checks positions, movements and speeds of all moving parts.

Digitalization

Vision is ready for connection to our DIVA-HDE digital acquisition systems based on Image Intensifier. Using the digital acquisition system, the application field of Vision can be further extended with the possibility of real-time dynamic exams and Digital Image processing. The digital option dramatically increases efficiency, thanks to reduced examination times and the possibility to connect the system to laser imagers and Dicom networks.
