一種移動C臂系統(tǒng)被設(shè)計用于外傷、脊柱手術(shù)。泌尿科、普通外科、整形外科、疼痛控制、胃腸病和血管外科的高級影像檢查。

這種叫做Arcadis Avantic 的C臂是由西門子醫(yī)療公司研制開發(fā)的，最近獲得了美國食品藥品管理局的許可。

這種C臂的特征包括：20kW最大250mA的輸出和13英寸圖像增強器，可以生成更大的觀察視野。新設(shè)計特征降低了重量，對覆蓋區(qū)域（footprint）的需求降低，這兩個特點對操作室都是至關(guān)重要的。一個緊湊的轉(zhuǎn)動操作面板配有符合人體工程學的手柄和顏色標記區(qū)分的控制閘以及控制元件，確保系統(tǒng)能夠很方便的移動和操作。

西門子手術(shù)和泌尿科學高級主任Roby Trierweiler說：“系統(tǒng)重量較輕覆蓋區(qū)域較小，以及高能和大的觀察視野，使得Arcadis Avantic成為一種能夠高效率移動的C臂，具有更高的臨床靈活性，十分有利于外科手術(shù)。除此之外，其廣泛的應(yīng)用范圍能夠滿足多種需求目的，能夠在醫(yī)院不同科室不同學科使用。”

這種C臂提供了簡單直觀的特殊應(yīng)用程序的選擇，應(yīng)用虛擬患者解剖（VPA）獲得最佳圖像質(zhì)量，幾乎無限制的進行圖像記錄和存檔。這套系統(tǒng)配備了數(shù)字圖像鏈能夠生成和控制所有圖像資料，獲取的用于記錄的圖像清晰度為1024 x 1024象素。這種C臂有望在2005年9月投入使用。

Surgical Mobile C-Arm
 
A mobile C-arm system has been designed for advanced imaging applications in trauma and spine surgery, urology, general surgery, orthopedic surgery, pain management, gastroenterology, and vascular surgery.

The Arcadis Avantic C-arm, developed by Siemens Medical Solutions (Erlangen, Germany), has recently been cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

This C-arm’s features include 20 kW with up to 250 mA output, and a 13-inch image intensifier, which results in a generous field of view. The new design features reduce weight and smaller footprint requirements, both of which are crucial in the operating room (OR). A compact, swiveling operating panel with ergonomically shaped handles as well as color-coded brake and control elements enable easy system movement and operation.

“The light-weight design and small footprint, combined with high power and large field of view, makes the Arcadis Avantic a highly efficient mobile C-arm, resulting in higher clinical flexibility and expedient surgical procedures,” said Roby Trierweiler, senior director, Surgery and Urology, Siemens Medical Solutions. “In addition, the wide range of applications enables a multipurpose and shared use of different departments and disciplines in the hospital.”

The C-arm provides an easy and intuitive selection of application-specific programs with Virtual Patient Anatomy (VPA) for optimal image quality and virtually boundless possibilities for documentation and archiving. The system is equipped with a digital imaging chain that generates and manages all image data at a resolution of 1024 x 1024 pixels from acquisition to documentation. The C-arm is expected to be ready for delivery in September 2005.
