What changed vs Allura

  • ClarityIQ standard — 43–83% dose reduction at equivalent image quality vs Xper-generation systems
  • Workflow acceleration — IntelliSpace platform integration, FlexVision monitor
  • Tube + generator refresh — GIGALIX-class tube economics
  • Hemodynamics integration — updated Xper IM + third-party options
  • Radiation safety — real-time dose visualization during procedures

Specs

  • Ceiling-suspended gantry
  • 20" flat-panel detector, rotatable
  • 100 kW high-frequency generator (CertaRay lineage)
  • ClarityIQ dose-reduction imaging chain
  • Xper IM hemodynamics integration
  • Single-plane configuration (Azurion 7); Azurion 7 Biplane available

Clinical positioning

Top-end cath / IR / neuro room. Competes with Siemens Artis Q / icono and GE IGS-class Innova replacements. Used for cardiac PCI, structural heart (TAVR), peripheral + neuro IR, and hybrid OR applications.

Upgrade from Allura Xper

Philips offers an Allura Xper R8.2 → Azurion HE upgrade that preserves the existing gantry, generator, detector, and patient table. Software + workstation + hemodynamics refresh — cheaper than new Azurion, more expensive than Xper.
