Philips Allura Xper FD10/20 Biplane
Family: Allura Xper · Modality: Interventional X-Ray
Biplane configuration — two imaging planes acquire simultaneously from orthogonal angles. Frontal plane uses the larger FD20 (19") detector; lateral plane uses the FD10 (14 × 17 cm) detector. Same chassis and generator family as single-plane variants.
The standard for pediatric cardiac catheterization, electrophysiology, and complex neurointerventional procedures where biplane acquisition is essential to reduce contrast dose and procedure time.
Variant-specific considerations
- Doubles the imaging chain complexity and maintenance surface
- Room footprint and ceiling load much larger than single-plane
- Installation is more complex — both planes calibrated as a coordinated pair
- Peds cardiac + EP + complex neuro are the primary buyers
