Sirio is a navigation system that supports interventional radiology procedures performed using CT, CT angiography, or other 3D imaging equipment for guidance.
Sirio reconstructs a three-dimensional model of the patient’s anatomical structures, enabling the interventional radiologist to identify the optimal trajectory for needle insertion and track its progress in real time.
This device allows reaching small and deep-seated target lesions with more accuracy, faster, and with less risk in comparison with standard methods.
“This system makes things much easier, faster, and safer.”
“The use of Sirio greatly reduces procedure time. But most importantly, physicians do not have to continuously check, by doing CT scans, the position of the needle.”
“With Sirio, the method has become completely accurate and reliable. We have reduced procedure time, patient radiation, and complications”.
