With the development of science and technology, patients' demands on doctors are increasing, and the demand for surgical risks and quality recovery is also increasing, which requires not only doctors' rich theoretical knowledge and superior technical level, but also the support of powerful medical equipment. In this context, the 3D C-arm imaging system launched by Perlove Medical is used by more and more hospitals for its high quality 3D imaging effect and intelligent operation.

What is the 3D C-arm imaging system?

Flat 3D C-arm, also known as 3D C-arm imaging system, orthopedic 3D C-arm, is an upgraded C-arm that combines traditional 2D mode with "CT-like mode", which can quickly generate cross-sectional, sagittal and coronal tomographic images and 3D stereoscopic images during surgery, providing the operator with a more complete observation angle and accurate judgment of Bone tissue and implant condition. It is mainly used in orthopedics, spine surgery, orthopedic surgery, trauma orthopedics, etc. It is especially suitable for surgical procedures in complex areas.

What is the difference between 3D C-arm imaging system and CT?

First, compared to intraoperative mobile CT, the 3D C-arm imaging system can access the scanning area from the side through the C-arm opening, thus making it compatible with the type of surgical bed in each operating room in the hospital. And the 3D C-arm imaging system can be gently pushed with electric power, thus serving multiple operating rooms. On the contrary, because the intraoperative mobile CT uses a completely closed frame, the layout of the operating bed and the operating room is demanding, and it is not easy to move around in the operating room.

Secondly, some of the 3D C-arm imaging system brands, such as the Perlove Medical PLX7500 series 3D C-arm take a large 30*30CM plate, with a larger scanning field of view (FOV), and the images can easily show 5 vertebrae, providing doctors with more surgical information. For conducting heavy scoliosis surgery, pelvic fracture surgery, etc., it provides a larger field of view.

Finally, the 3D C-arm imaging system has collected enough clear image information at the image acquisition stage, and after the intraoperative implantation of the prosthesis, the image information of the implanted prosthesis in the vertebral body can be fully obtained by scanning again, so that the surgeon can clearly determine whether the prosthesis is in the best position in the vertebral body and reduce the chance of secondary surgery.

The 3D C-arm imaging system, as an intraoperative imaging device, provides a powerful aid to the further rapid development of orthopedic technology. For orthopedics, it can quickly perform scoliosis orthopedics, emergency trauma, and percutaneous minimally invasive surgery. At the same time, the 3D C-arm imaging system can be combined with orthopedic surgery robots to carry out robot-assisted spine surgery, high-definition three-dimensional images is one of the prerequisites to ensure the accurate unfolding of robotic spine surgery.

For hospitals, the 3D C-arm imaging system helps hospitals to carry out high-end surgical procedures, improve the level of clinical research in the department, and help doctors in the department to collect high-definition surgical data intraoperatively. The 3D C-arm imaging system also helps hospitals perform minimally invasive surgery, improving surgical efficacy and speeding up hospital bed turnover.
