The reason (IMO) they do not show live images is because they take so long to set up and then reconstruct. Nice images but not really worth it in real time practice. We use it so infrequent with our siemens machine that they sometimes need to quickly review the set up. Prespin the c-arm, set the table just right. review the pre-spin, take the images. and wait for the 3D HISTORICAL image. Used mostly for the head but sometimes the abdomen. Just my experience for what its worth. I keep thinking on many cases boy would it be nice to use instant 3D for catheter placement instead of driving the c arm all over the place. One injection of contrast and we would see all the arteries. find the lesion and fix it STAT. cut down our room time significantly as well as contrast load for those pt with high creatinine levels. Maybe even save some kindey function in the process.

Willing to wait for what ever it takes until we ARE approved. I cant wait to use DVis.
