TrueFusion requires a combined workflow of the Ultrasound operator and the ARTIS operator. The True Fusion workflow consists of the following workflow steps: Connection to Ultrasound system Registration Overlay The Ultrasound devices are After acquiring two X-ray Overlay of Ultrasound images, shown in a list. You select the fluoroscopy images, an initial landmarks, and/or valve Ultrasound device to connect. registration of the Ultrasound models to the X-ray image image is automatically started. using continuous X-ray-based registrations can be performed. Please note: The overlaid anatomical landmarks are based on the Ultrasound image and/or MPR from the time of the successful registration and independent of later/subsequent Ultrasound probe motion. 5 Effective Date: 10 Jun 2022 | HOOD05162003279040 Unrestricted © Siemens Healthineers, 2022 syngo TrueFusion SIEMENS Healthineers Preparation of the ARTIS System 1.

Registration of the Ultrasound and X-ray images is done via X-ray images of the Z6Ms Ultrasound probe. RA 2. For a successful probe detection, the internal structures of the probe need to be delineated in X-ray. Particularly, extreme tilts of the probe in the X-ray image like with transgastric views are not supported 1 . 3. The Registration workflow step requires coordination between the Angle = 90º Ultrasound operator and the ARTIS operator. LAO 41 / 0 RAO 49 / 0 Example registration Before starting the procedure, both operators should agree on a time 4. to start the registration workflow step. For registration, two fluoroscopy images a minimum of 30 degrees apart will be required for registration. 90 degrees would be ideal. 5. Select 4D mode on Ultrasound system and switch to Fusion mode. 4D F 1 The Ultrasound probe must be positioned from head to feet with a maximum 9 angle deviation of ±45 degrees. Otherwise,the registration will not be accurate.
