A masterpiece of engineering, the Ziehm Vision² FD Vario 3D integrates multiplanar reconstructions and 3D volume rendering into a space-saving design. Equipped with flat-panel technology, the system delivers more than 16,000 shades of gray. The crystal-clear and distortion-free 3D images provide maximum intraoperative visualization of anatomical structures. The CT like reconstructions can be combined with navigation systems. The C-arm’s 3D data enables surgeons to perform image-guided surgery with great accuracy. Ziehm Vision² FD Vario 3D is ideal for applications such as orthopedics, spine surgery, and neurosurgical procedures. Intuitive touchscreens on both the C-arm and monitor cart make changing from 2D fluoroscopy to the 3D mode with one simple keystroke.

Larger Opening
Measuring 35.2" (89.5cm), the larger C-arm opening allows patients to be more easily positioned and accessed.
Distortion-free imaging
The world’s first 3D C-arm with flat-panel technology enables fully digital, distortion-free imaging and increases precision and safety levels. In addition, insensitivity to magnetic fields gives the operator added flexibility.
Extended dynamic range
Due to its high-dynamic range, the flat-panel detector enables optimal concurrent soft tissue and skeletal imaging with more than 16,000 shades of gray.
Larger Field of view
Thanks to the panel’s larger surface area and square shape, the resulting 2D images are larger than those generated by conventional image intensifiers.
Open for all navigation systems
In combination with navigation systems and computer-aided surgery (CAS), Ziehm Imaging 3D C-arms enable high levels of precision in complex, minimally invasive and open surgery.
The Ziehm NaviPort interface links Ziehm Imaging’s 3D C-arms for intraoperative imaging with leading navigation systems. Not only does this provide maximum flexibility in choosing navigation systems, it also makes it possible to connect up to 3 different navigation systems from different manufacturers to the same C-arm.
Ziehm Vision² FD Vario 3D delivers distortion-free, highly dynamic image data, which can be automatically transmitted from the C-arm to the navigation system. Surgeons can then immediately use these 3D datasets to support image-guided surgery without the need for additional manual registration steps. Intraoperative assessments enable them to quickly and reliably check progress at all times and document results.
Best-in-class ergonomics
With a footprint of 8.6sqft (0.8m²), Ziehm Vision² FD Vario 3D is one of the smallest 3D C-arms on the market. Its compact design and easy-drive system means it can be maneuvered with minimal effort during procedures. The steer and brake functions are activated via a single lever. All C-arm movements are fully counterbalanced in every position, making the unit extremely convenient to use. Optionally, color-coded levers allow surgeons and staff to quickly and easily select the functions they need.
Intuitive workflow
The touchscreen user interface offers an intelligent workflow that makes operating the C-arm easy and intuitive. Users benefit from synchronized touchscreens on the monitor cart and the C-arm, as well as clear and easy-to-follow icons. The intuitive 3D workflow guides the user through all steps of the preparation and scanning process. Operators simply select the desired option from a list of anatomical programs, and the system automatically adjusts settings to the region of interest, always ensuring the best image quality and lowest dose.
Fit for the future
The graphical user interface and an open, modular software architecture ensure maximum flexibility. Ziehm Vision² FD Vario 3D can be upgraded and expanded as needs change.
Prolonged use,/p>
C-arms need to be in continuous use during lengthy, demanding procedures such as multi-level interventions during spinal surgery. Ziehm Vision² FD Vario 3D’s Advanced Active Cooling system keeps the generator at an ideal operating temperature. In the event of a temperature increase, the pulse frequency is automatically reduced until the generator’s temperature drops. This enables continual use even during long and difficult procedures.
Seamless integration
The open Ziehm NetPort interface enables easy integration into existing IT networks. Patient data saved in DICOM 3.0 format is transferred to the PACS or HIS/RIS. Data can be retrieved from the monitor cart at any time and can be backed up to DVD or USB and printed on transparencies or paper.
