C-Arm is a medical imaging device that is based on X-ray technology and can be used flexibly in various ORs within a clinic. The name is derived from the C-shaped arm used to connect the X-ray source and X-ray detector to one another. C-Arm comprises a generator called as X-Ray source and an image intensifier of flat panel detector. It is often used in surgery, orthopedics, traumatology, vascular surgery and cardiology for intra-operative imaging. The device provides high-resolution X-ray images in real time, allowing the surgeon to monitor progress at any point during the surgery.
Digital Radiography is another form of X-Ray imaging, which uses digital X-Ray sensors instead of traditional photographic film. Since a digital image capture device is used here, the technicians can have an immediate image preview. This in turn saves time, eliminates the cost of film processing and also enhances the overall display quality of the image.
