NUREMBERG, Germany, October 23, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --

Ziehm Vision FD has been recognized with the Silver Stevie Award as "Best new product of the year" in the "Health & Pharmaceuticals" category at the 2017 Stevie Awards ceremony on October 21 in Barcelona, Spain. The jury highlighted the improved clinical outcome and the cost-efficiency of Ziehm Vision FD that has set new standards in intraoperative imaging.

Ten years ago, Ziehm Imaging had presented the first version of Ziehm Vision FD. The introduction of the first fully digital mobile C-arm with flat-panel technology marked a new era of image quality in mobile C-arms. "Our first mobile C-arm with flat-panel technology turned into a global success story", says Martin Törnvik, Vice President Global Sales and Marketing at Ziehm Imaging. He had been in charge of the market launch of the Ziehm Vision FD in his role as product manager back then. Today, there are more than 750 systems installed in clinics worldwide.

The next generation of the bestselling Ziehm Vision FD 

In 2017, the latest generation of Ziehm Vision FD featuring a new CMOS flat-panel detector was launched. The advantage: it offers higher image resolution than conventional flat-panel detectors at the same dose. Thanks to CMOS Ziehm Vision FD allows for excellent image quality and is ideally suited for lengthy interventions with its liquid cooling system. In addition, finely tuned workflows and new software features help optimize patient outcomes and increase productivity further.
