Intelligent automation: helping you work faster

Every aspect of Ysio Max has been carefully thought out for faster, simpler and better radiography to make your workflow even more efficient.

Unique simultaneous FAST movement in 6 axes

Ysio Max is the only system worldwide to offer simultaneous movement in all axes.1

  • high level of automation
  • effortless efficiency
  • increased patient throughput
  • safe operation

Take the smart route – take AIM
Ysio Max uses unique Artificial Intelligence Mapping1 (AIM) to calculate the shortest,
fastest and safest path from one position to the next for:

  • fast, safe system positioning
  • regardless of starting position or final destination

Move precisely and directly – move FAST

AIM calculates the optimum route and FAST² (Free Axis Simultaneous Travel) moves the system accordingly.

  • simultaneous movement in 6 axes
  • fast and efficient system positioning
  • advanced tracking of table and BWS

Get more consistent – be Smart
Just one touch on the SmartMove button is all it takes to move quickly and directly to the position you need. 1,000 system positions, covering virtually all your needs, can be pre-programmed helping you reach new levels of consistency in every exam.

  • the shortest and fastest possible way to the position you need
  • pre-defined positions ensure consistency in every exam for table, BWS and free exams
  • configured to bypass room fixtures

Be in the right place at the right time

For quick tube positioning with minimal effort, Ysio Max tracks the position of the  detector and automatically moves the tube to maintain the correct position, SID and tube rotation. Plus, power-assisted servo movement1 takes the strain when manual movement is needed.

  • cuts time from each examination
  • provides higher patient throughput
  • reduces the strain of heavy workloads
  • speeds up workflow

Make short work of long images

Automatic Ortho1 makes long images – such as long leg and spine – faster and easier. Ysio Max acquires up to four images to cover the selected region, automatically determining the number of exposures required and composing them to a single image.

  • effortless composing for complex images, i.e. long leg and whole spine exams
  • available for standing exams on BWS and for lying exams on table
  • automatic composing on syngoFLC or separate workstation

Comfort at your fingertips: complete control where you need it

Intuitive and convenient, MaxTouch gives you the control you need for excellent usability with maximized comfort at your fingertips.

Maximized comfort at your fingertips with MaxTouch
MaxTouch gives you complete control, right where you need it. Its large and intuitive color touchscreen display provides all the information you require.MaxTouch uniquely lets you change the examination order, as well as all key image parameters, all, without ever having to leave the patient.

  • Allows changes to all key image parameters directly from the tube
  • Only system that allows the order of exams to be changed
  • Provides user guidance with messages

Say goodbye to duplication of effort
Ysio Max features an outstanding degree of integration that lets all its components communicate with each other. When you make a change via MaxTouch, the information is instantly transmitted to all the other components in the system, which automatically make the adjustments to their own settings where necessary. You only have to make a change once and the system does the rest.

Ergonomic table design
Ysio Max’s free-floating table is designed for the most demanding routines. Its high weight capacity and a great patient coverage means that even large patients can be examined from head to toe without repositioning. Plus, the table height can be adjusted making it easy for patient positioning, even those in wheelchairs, while offering a convenient and comfortable working height for the radiographer, too.

  • High table weight capacity of 300 kg / 660 lbs
  • Low table height < 52 cm / 21 '' for easy wheelchair transfer
  • Excellent patient coverage without repositioning: 190 cm / 75 ”

Safety fast
Thanks to its seamless integration, Ysio Max’s smart tabletop recognition3
– tracks the exact position of the tabletop
– allows the system to move at the optimum speed
– increases safety

Enjoy exceptional freedom with wi-D
Ysio Max’s wireless detector (wi-D™) gives you a high degree of versatility and imaging freedom. Because you can bring the imaging source right to the patient, it’s especially useful with immobile patients. The wi-D combines the best of both worlds: flexible detector positioning with all the advantages of digital imaging.

  • Fully digital flat detector technology with over 7 million pixels – one of the highest of its kind
  • pixel pitch of 144 μm, the 35 cm x 43 cm / 14” x 17” detector delivers excellent high-resolution images
  • Can be used in table, BWS and all free exams
  • Fast image preview within 5 sec

Experience complete flexibility
The wi-D can be used in table, Bucky wall stand and for virtually all free examinations. It can also be used across multiple rooms in different products, such as Luminos Agile, Luminos dRF, the new Luminos dRF or Mobilett Mira for complete flexibility.

Excellent coverage
In addition to the wi-D, Ysio Max can also be configured with an integrated flat detector letting you conduct virtually every type of examination.

  • 43 cm x 43 cm / 17” x 17” flat detector
  • gives you the coverage you need
  • digital processing lets you view the images in seconds

One grid, broad working range
Saving time and effort, Ysio’s new universal grid is optimized for a broad working range without compromising image quality, reducing the need to keep changing grids. Additional optimized grids are available for specific SIDs.

Investment confidence: tomorrow’s technology today

Ysio Max represents an outstanding investment – for today and for tomorrow. Its unique features help staff work faster, more efficiently, and with less physical stress.

Whether you choose fully automated or fully synchronized, Ysio Max is flexibly configurable, letting you expand the functionality of the system with additional clinical applications such as automatic Ortho or tomography1 as and when you need them.

Higher throughput, lower costs, faster ROI
When taking all the factors into account, not just procurement cost, Ysio Max actually adds value by significantly improving workflow. Its innovative features help:

  • improve patient throughput, staff morale and safety
  • reduce operating costs and training requirements
  • decrease diagnostic errors

400% increase in throughput
Ysio Max delivers quantitative and qualitative benefits. In a 2011 study comparing CR and DR situations conducted at a medium sized hospital (300 beds) in Australia, Ysio Max achieved outstanding results with the number or examinations increasing by 400%. Click on the image to see more results.
