New Equipment - C-Arm

 
 
       C-Arm x-ray machines use intensifiers that magnify readings.  This allows lower amounts of X-rays to be used, and results in less radiation exposure for patients and professionals.
  •   
  •  
 The types of investigations for which this machine can be used for is vast, including :
  •  
    • - Barium studies (swallows, meals, enemas) 
    • - Endoscopy studies (ERCP) (Some sites will opt for a portable C-arm system for this) 
    • - Fertility studies (HSG)   
 
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 i.e. Permacath/Hickman, transjugular biopsies, TIPS stent, embolisations) 
    • - Cardiac studies (PTCA) 
    • - Orthopedic procedures (ORIF, DHS, MUA, spinal work) - again generally using a portable C-arm maximum flexibility in positional use.
