This is a 360 degree image showing the main hybrid cath lab at Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit, which is used for most of the structural heart procedures performed at that center. It uses a Philips Azurion angiography system, which is a low dose imaging system that significantly reduces X-ray exposure compared to previous generation systems. The lab also is equipped with a Philips ultrasound system for transesophageal echo (TEE), the EchoNavigator TEE-angiogragy fusion imaging system, an Abiomed Impella pump console, and a electro-surgical cutter used for transcaval access procedures.
