C-arm is one kind of mobile X-ray machine which is applied in department of orthopedics to do operation. There are different sizes C-arm. We Perlong Medical produce small and middle ones. Our C-arm is No.1 and occupies the most market share in China. Also it is popular in overseas market, especially Middle East and Asia.

C-arms are one of the driving technological forces behind the advancement of minimally invasive surgeries. These mobile fluoroscopic imaging systems are precise and accurate devices that allow for less patient discomfort in a variety of surgical and nonsurgical procedures. The minimal invasiveness with the use of C-arms has helped lead to the increase of more cost-effective outpatient care. C-arms provide patients with minimally invasive, pain-reduced procedures.
Initially used in general surgery or orthopedic applications, C-arm x ray machines are now described by both manufacturers and users as highly versatile, thanks to the technological advancements made since the original designs.
In fact, C-arm usage recently has expanded to include minimally invasive, spinal, general, and orthopedic surgeries; pain management; and cardiac, urology, vascular, and neurovascular applications.

An X-ray image intensifier (XRII), sometimes called a C-Arm, refers to a special image intensifier device used in medical imaging involving x rays. It consists of an input window, input phosphor, photocathode, vacuum and electron optics, output phosphor and output window.
It allows for lower x-ray doses to be used on patients by magnifying the intensity produced in the output image, enabling the viewer to easily see the structure of the object being imaged. C-Arms were introduced by Philips in 1955.
Clinical ApplicationsAn image intensifier or II is used in two ways:1. As a Fixed piece of equipment in a dedicated screening room2. Mobile Equipment for use in theatreFixed Image IntensifiersThese are used in most xray departments as ‘screening rooms’. The types of investigations for which this machine can be used for is vast. Examples include:Barium Studies (Swallows, Meals, Enemas) Endoscopy Studies (ERCP) Fertility Studies (HSG) Angiography Studies (Peripheral, Central and Cerebral) Thereaputic Studies (Line placements i.e. Permacath / Hickman, Transjugular Biopsies, TIPS Stent, Embolisations)Cardiac Studies (PTCA)
