There is little doubt
that the Siemens C Arm has garnered a considerable amount of praise over the
years thanks to the versatility, accuracy, and overall reliability of the
devices that use the technology. One of the more celebrated is the Arcadis
Orbic 3D model which has allowed physicians to improve their overall diagnosis
techniques.
The C Arm itself
consists of a number of different parts that work together in order to make a
highly versatile machine. It should be noted that all of the parts for this particular
unit are crafted from high quality materials and built to last so that with
minor maintenance will continue to work for a long time to come.
Wheels
Arguably the most
basic part of the C arm, the wheels allow it to be moved not only from room to room,
but around the patient on the table so that the best position can be found. The
wheels themselves are created from high quality materials and designed to last
a long time in a clinical environment.
Arm
The arm of the device
is what gives it the versatility needed to be used in diagnosis the condition
of the patient. The C arm itself bows outward away from the table, yet is
curved back on both ends to provide the best in balance. This enables the arm
to be moved about in a variety of ways in order to get the best angle on a
specific area of the body. The arm can be swung with ease thanks to its
balancing features and positioned where needed.
Imaging System
The x-ray imaging
system is compact, but offers considerable detail in terms of providing a high
quality image. Located at the top end of the C arm, the imager is essentially a
projector that delivers a small amount of x-rays to a particular area of the
body in order to reveal potential injuries or conditions. The imaging system
itself is augmented by advances in lenses and software systems that control the
x-rays to a precise degree.
Computer
The heart of the C arm
is the computer that runs the imaging system and provides physicians with the
final picture of what is inside the patient. Generally speaking, an operator
runs the C arm from the computer which means that the amount of x-ray exposure
and overall image quality can be controlled. Although it does require training,
Siemens models are generally easy and intuitive to use so that fewer mistakes
will be made.
In addition, a
refurbished Orbic 3D model works just like new and is not as expensive. For
healthcare facilities that are watching their budgets, this is an excellent
device to have handy since it is portable, highly effective, and quite reliable
as it can be used with minimal maintenance for years to come.
In the end, the
Arcadis Orbic 3D is one of the most popular of the Siemens C Arm devices and is
found in many different hospitals, clinics, and healthcare facilities around
the world. This is all thanks to its reliability, versatility, and ability to
improve the diagnosis process.
