Siemens Healthineers has introduced new angiography systems designed to support embolization treatment for liver cancer. The platforms use artificial intelligence to improve imaging, treatment planning and device navigation during minimally invasive procedures.
AI-supported embolization treatment for liver cancer
The new systems – Artis genio, Artis icono.explore and Artis icono.vision – were presented at the European Congress of Radiology (ECR) 2026 in Vienna. Each platform integrates artificial intelligence to assist clinicians performing embolization procedures.
Embolization treatments block or reduce blood flow to a tumour or deliver medication directly to tumour-feeding vessels. As a result, the approach can reduce tumour burden while limiting exposure to systemic treatments.
Motion correction improves 3D imaging accuracy
Siemens Healthineers has integrated automated motion reduction software, Syngo DynaCT MORE, into the systems. The technology reduces motion artefacts caused by breathing, heartbeat or vascular pulsation during three-dimensional cone beam CT imaging.
Through iterative image reconstruction, the software realigns vessels and devices while preserving anatomical detail. This can restore imaging datasets that would otherwise be unusable and may reduce the need for repeat scans.
AI planning tools support interventional radiologists
The systems also feature the AI-based myEmbolization Guide, which assists with treatment planning and catheter navigation. The software generates a detailed vascular map that differentiates tumour-feeding vessels from surrounding anatomy.
Specialised workflows allow clinicians to select liver or prostate embolization procedures, including three-dimensional tumour contouring and visualisation of treatment zones.
AI imaging chain improves image quality
The new Artis portfolio also includes the Optiq AI imaging chain. The technology reduces noise during image processing to improve image clarity while maintaining the same radiation dose.
In addition, the systems feature an updated interface designed to guide users through procedural workflows and improve coordination between control and examination rooms.
