C-ARM
C-ARM – Computer-Assisted Radio Monitoring.
A C-Arm machine is an advanced medical imaging device based on X-ray technology. They are primarily used for fluoroscopy capabilities, although they have radiography capabilities too.
C-Arm is called due to its C-shaped arm, which is used to connect the x-ray source on one end and the detector on the other. allows movement horizontally, vertically, and around the swivel axes, so that X-ray images of the patient are produced from many angles. The generator emits X-rays that penetrate the patient’s body which is placed in between. The image intensifier or detector converts the X-rays into a visible image displayed on the C-arm monitor. Physicians can check anatomical details such as bones, and fractures in the bone under consideration vs the position of implants and instruments in real-time, while doing the procedure, without causing damage to other parts.
C-Arm systems are known for their mobility as they can be transported from one place to another. The special semi-circular design enables the physician to move it more freely covering the whole body of the patient and taking images wherever required.
These C-Arm machines are used during orthopedic, complicated surgical, pain management (Anaesthetics), and emergency procedures.
X-ray
X-rays are a form of electromagnetic radiation, just like visible light. In a health care setting, a machines sends are individual x-ray particles, called photons. These particles pass through the body. A computer or special film is used to record the images that are created.
Structures that are dense (such as bone) will block most of the x-ray particles, and will appear white. Metal and contrast media (special dye used to highlight areas of the body) will also appear white. Structures containing air will be black, and muscle, fat, and fluid will appear as shades of gray.
We provide treatment regarding your joints and other bone issues and we will do X-ray and then notify you what actually the issue is.!
