A C-arm is an imaging scanner intensifier. The name
derives from the C-shaped arm used to connect
the x-ray source and x-ray detector to one another.
Fluoroscopy is a study of moving body structures.
Fluoroscopy, as an imaging tool, allows healthcare
providers to look at many body systems

C-Arm – Uses
C-arms have radiographic
capabilities, though they are
used primarily
for fluoroscopic intra
operative imaging during
surgical, orthopedic and
emergency care procedures.

C-Arm – principle
Fluoroscopy uses a
continuous X-ray beam with a
special machine called a C-
arm that rotates around your
body to look at different
angles. During the exam, a
series of X-ray images are
projected onto a screen.

Fluoroscopy can result in
relatively high radiation
doses, especially for
complex interventional
procedures (such as placing
stents or other devices inside
the body) which require
fluoroscopy be administered
for a long period of time.
