C-ARM X-RAY MACHINES: ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW

A C-arm is an imaging scanner intensifier. The name derives from the C-shaped arm used to connect the x-ray source and x-ray detector to one another. C-arms have radiographic capabilities, though they are used primarily for fluoroscopic intraoperative imaging during surgical, orthopedic and emergency care procedures. The devices provide high-resolution X-ray images in real time, thus allowing the physician to monitor progress and immediately make any corrections.A C-arm is an imaging scanner intensifier.

A x-ray image intensifier (XRII) is an image intensifier that converts x-rays into visible light at higher intensity than mere fluorescent screens do. X-ray imaging systems use such intensifiers  (like fluoroscopes) to allow converting low-intensity x-rays to a conveniently bright visible light output.

Through its intensifying effect, the viewer can more easily see the structure of the imaged object than fluorescent screens alone. The XRII requires lower absorbed doses due to more efficient conversion of x-ray quanta to visible light.

Permanent/Fixed Fluoroscopic Systems

There are two main configurations of permanently installed fluoroscopic systems. One class commonly utilizes a radiolucent patient examination table with an under-table mounted tube and an imaging system mounted over the table. The other is commonly referred to as a C-arm system that is used where greater flexibility in the examination process is needed.

The C-arm systems are commonly used for studies requiring the maximum positional flexibility such as:

• Angiography studies (peripheral, central and cerebral);
• Therapeutic studies (Line placements, transjugular biopsies, TIPS stent, embolizations);
• Cardiac studies;
• Orthopedic procedures.
