Imaging Principle of Flat-Panel Detector C-arm Systems

图片
  Flat-panel detector C-arm (FPD C-arm) systems have become indispensable imaging equipment in modern operating rooms, widely used in orthopedics, trauma surgery, pain management, cardiovascular interventions, and more. Compared with traditional imaging systems, FPD C-arms provide higher image quality, faster imaging speed, and lower radiation dose. So how exactly does an FPD C-arm generate images? What is the underlying principle? This article offers a clear explanation. 1. What Is a Flat-Panel Detector C-arm? A flat-panel C-arm is a mobile medical imaging device that uses X-ray fluoroscopy to provide real-time dynamic images. Its most significant feature is the use of a  flat-panel detector (FPD)  instead of the traditional image intensifier (I.I.), greatly improving image clarity and stability. 2. How Does an FPD C-arm Form an Image? The imaging process involves four key steps: Step 1: X-ray Generation When the X-ray tube is energized, electrons accelerate from the cat...

What Is an Interventional C-Arm System?

  With the rapid development of minimally invasive medicine, the Interventional C-arm System has become an essential imaging platform in catheterization laboratories, cardiovascular centers, neuro-interventional departments, and hybrid operating rooms. Based on real-time dynamic X-ray imaging, it provides surgeons with precise visual guidance during complex minimally invasive procedures—earning its reputation as the “navigation eye” of interventional surgery. Interventional C-Arm: PLX7100A 1. What Is an Interventional C-Arm System? An Interventional C-arm System is a digital imaging device that uses X-ray technology to deliver real-time, high-resolution, low-dose dynamic images. It consists of an X-ray tube and a flat-panel detector connected by a C-shaped gantry, which allows flexible movement and multi-angle imaging during procedures. The key advantage is its ability to  continuously visualize anatomical structures and interventional instruments during surgery , helping clin...
