As a technology
leader in the cath lab market, Philips strives to offer the most
complete, state-of- the-art cath lab -- while retaining optimal
work-flows. Volcano's s5i IVUS system is uniquely suited to meet
those needs, as it interacts seamlessly with the Philips x-ray
systems.
Physicians are recognizing the value of IVUS as an integral
part of daily percutaneous coronary interventions.
Volcano's
imaging technology gives clinicians
the ability to visualize vessel geometry, understand plaque
composition and make measurements for stent sizing.
"As IVUS usage
is growing worldwide, it is increasingly common for customers to
include IVUS technology in their cath lab design from the very
beginning," commented Scott Huennekens, president and chief executive
officer of Volcano. "Our agreement with Philips is yet another
example of Volcano's commitment to provide customers with market
leading IVUS technology that functions seamlessly with their X-ray
equipment." |
