Surgical Mobile C-Arm

By HospiMedica staff writers
Posted on 29 Aug 2005
A mobile C-arm system has been designed for advanced imaging applications in trauma and spine surgery, urology, general surgery, orthopedic surgery, pain management, gastroenterology, and vascular surgery.

The Arcadis Avantic C-arm, developed by Siemens Medical Solutions (Erlangen, Germany), has recently been cleared by the U.S. More...
Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

This C-arm's features include 20 kW with up to 250 mA output, and a 13-inch image intensifier, which results in a generous field of view. The new design features reduce weight and smaller footprint requirements, both of which are crucial in the operating room (OR). A compact, swiveling operating panel with ergonomically shaped handles as well as color-coded brake and control elements enable easy system movement and operation.

"The light-weight design and small footprint, combined with high power and large field of view, makes the Arcadis Avantic a highly efficient mobile C-arm, resulting in higher clinical flexibility and expedient surgical procedures,” said Roby Trierweiler, senior director, Surgery and Urology, Siemens Medical Solutions. "In addition, the wide range of applications enables a multipurpose and shared use of different departments and disciplines in the hospital.”

The C-arm provides an easy and intuitive selection of application-specific programs with Virtual Patient Anatomy (VPA) for optimal image quality and virtually boundless possibilities for documentation and archiving. The system is equipped with a digital imaging chain that generates and manages all image data at a resolution of 1024 x 1024 pixels from acquisition to documentation. The C-arm is expected to be ready for delivery in September 2005.
