This C-arm features a 26cm x 26cm flat panel detector with 800mm of free
space and 150-degree dynamic orbital rotation. Its 15kW high-frequency
generator with rotating tube is touted as allowing for longer usage during
surgeries. The C-arm's 10.4-inch touchscreen provides a user-friendly
operation panel. A Low Dose Mode automatically adjusts
the amount of radiation needed to capture optimal
images based on procedure type and site. Auto and
virtual collimation settings further reduce unneces-
sary radiation exposure during image capture. Dual
19-inch monitors and a large 43-inch LCD monitor
for visualization complete the package.

Hologic says this C-arm's rotating flat panel detector increases
imaging versatility for long bones and its low-dose option reduces
radiation doses by over 50% while still providing clinically useful
images. Clinicians can expand image size by 50% on a tilting, pivot-
ing 24-inch HD touchscreen display. Other features include pinch-
to-zoom touchscreen controls and full 120-degree range of motion,
which allows for added maneuverability and flexibility around the
patient and increased workspace access. Recent improvements to
the platform include simplifying the method for locking the C-arm
and reducing the system's total width in the locked position to save
storage space.

GE touts this C-arm as being designed for
intuitive control. Its large touchscreen, which
can be located on the C-arm itself or on an
optional roll stand, provides operator-friendly
features, including familiar sequences in a
single tab menu selection. Its real-time 4x
zoom feature enables users to focus on criti-
cal details on the fly with no change in X-ray
technique. Its General HD imaging profile can "soften" bones and dense tissue, while enhancing visualiza-
tion of devices, enabling clinicians to perform procedural catheter insertions more easily.
