What is the difference between C-arm CT and conventional CT in localization and resection of pulmonary nodules?

图片
  In the field of modern medicine, with the continuous progress of technology and the updating of treatment concepts, minimally invasive surgery has received more and more attention due to its advantages of less trauma and faster recovery. As one of the representatives of minimally invasive surgical techniques, thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) has been widely used in the diagnosis and resection of small pulmonary nodules. However, for pure ground glass, mixed ground glass, and small pulmonary nodules that are not adjacent to the pleura and need to be resected for clinical indications, precise preoperative localization is particularly critical. Traditional CT-guided staining or marker localization methods have many inconveniences and risks, while the emerging mobile C-arm CT machine provides a “one-stop” solution, bringing a safer and more comfortable treatment experience for patients. PLX C7600 Series C-Arm CT Machine The PLX C7600 series C-arm CT machine is equipped with a 25kW high power

Innovative Application of Perlove Medical’s DSA-type Flat-panel C-arm in ERCP Surgery

图片
  In modern medical practice, ERCP (Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography) is widely used as a key method for diagnosing and treating biliary and pancreatic diseases. Perlove Medical’s PLX7100A—DSA-type flat-panel C-arm provides robust technical support for ERCP procedures, covering 80% of the functionalities of a large C-arm. ERCP, as a minimally invasive surgery, not only reduces the risk of wound infection but also offers quick recovery, fewer complications, shorter hospital stays, and lower hospital costs. It has a high diagnostic accuracy for diseases of the biliary and pancreatic systems, allowing precise identification of common bile duct stones, the location, nature, and degree of bile duct stenosis, and the presence of bile duct abnormalities. Notably, ERCP is also instrumental in the early detection of ampullary cancer. The DSA-type flat-panel C-arm plays a crucial role in this process. It works in conjunction with endoscopy to provide high-definition images and real

What is the lifespan of an orthopedic mobile C-arm X-ray machine? How to extend the C-arm’s service life?

图片
  The C-arm is an abbreviation for the mobile C-arm X-ray machine, and due to its convenience and safety features, it is widely used in operating rooms. With increasingly strict inspections from regulatory authorities regarding the service life of medical devices, the lifespan of orthopedic mobile C-arm X-ray machines has garnered more attention. According to the “Guidelines for the Technical Review of Active Medical Device Service Life Registration,” the service life of a medical device refers to the period during which the device, as guaranteed by the applicant or registrant through risk management, remains safe and effective for use. During this period, the device should maintain its intended application. Generally, the service life of a mobile C-arm X-ray machine is five years. However, in practical use, the lifespan also depends on factors such as the operating environment, the anticipated service life analysis before the product’s market entry, post-market monitoring, and other f

Advantages of Mobile C-arm CT Systems: Precision 3D Imaging and Accurate Localization

图片
  Mobile C-arm CT: Industry Commonly Known as “Intraoperative CT” The Perlove Medical mobile C-arm CT system, commonly referred to as “intraoperative CT” in the industry, provides high-definition 2D and 3D imaging within the operating room. By scanning, it quickly generates 3D stereoscopic images of the skeleton during surgery and offers cross-sectional, sagittal, and coronal CT-like views, helping physicians to more accurately diagnose lesions and plan surgical treatments. According to the “Medical Device Classification Catalog” by the National Medical Products Administration (NMPA), mobile C-arm X-ray machines are classified under different categories. C-arms with “digital tomosynthesis” or “digital subtraction angiography” functions are managed under Class III registration. Other C-arms used for fluoroscopy and imaging in surgical procedures are managed under Class II registration. Digital Tomosynthesis (DTS) is a new tomographic imaging method developed based on the geometric princ

What kind of dynamic X-ray machine DRF do hospital radiologists really want?

图片
  In the rapid development of medical imaging technology today, the progress of X-ray machines is particularly significant. From the initial traditional X-ray machine to indirect digital imaging CR (computed radiography), and then to direct digital imaging X-ray machine (digital radiography), as well as dynamic and static balance of dynamic X-ray machine (dynamic digital radiography), until the emergence of multi-functional dynamic X-ray machine DRF (Dynamic Digital Radiography Flat Panel Detector), the iteration of the technology has not only brought about an increase in the types of equipment and functions, but also The technology iteration has not only brought about an increase in the variety and functionality of the equipment, but has also greatly expanded the scope of clinical applications. Dynamic X-ray DRF In recent years, dynamic X-ray machine DRF has gained wide recognition in the clinic by virtue of its “multi-faceted” advantages. However, in the face of the many brands and m

Why Orthopedic Flat Panel C-Arm Replaces image intensifier C-Arm?

图片
  Currently on the market orthopedic C-arm X-ray machine can be divided into orthopedic shadow increase C-arm and orthopedic flat C-arm two types, the former use image intensifier, the latter use of digital flat panel detector, the two imaging principles are fundamentally different. The image intensifier was introduced in the 1950s, and the image intensifier is a real-time imaging system that converts X-rays that penetrate the body into visible light and brightens the image, which disappears once the exposure is stopped. In order to carry out image processing, the image intensifier needs to cooperate with the camera system, the image is captured and converted into electrical signals for processing. So its imaging links more time, easy to cause the loss of image information and noise increase, due to lower resolution, image quality is not ideal. The digital flat panel is a new technology developed in the 1990s. The imaging principle is that X-rays through the object, different degrees o

How can intraoperative 3D CT assist surgical robots to complete surgical navigation?

图片
  Surgical robots have high requirements for intraoperative alignment, and it is not enough to rely only on their own navigation and localization functions, which need to be combined with intraoperative 3D CT images to improve the accuracy of navigation. Unlike spiral CT in the radiology scanning room, intraoperative 3D CT uses cone-beam CT scanning equipment, commonly known as 3D C-arm and O-arm. How does  intraoperative 3D CT  assist the surgical robot to accomplish surgical navigation? The following is an example of intraoperative 3D mobile C-arm (PLX C7600) assisted spine surgery to introduce the four processes in the surgical process. (I) Intraoperative image acquisition Intraoperative navigation can use CT images or MRI images. In orthopedic surgery, the precision of bony anatomical structures is required to be higher, so the application of intraoperative CT images is more widely used than intraoperative MRI, and the use of mobile intraoperative CT is more popular.

What are the precautions to be taken when moving the bulb tube of a suspending structure DR ?

  DR is a commonly used imaging modality in radiology department. Suspended structure DR is the use of suspended mechanical structure and retractable bulb system can help to realize the dead-angle position, to meet the needs of a variety of body shooting, with intelligent lift bed design, even for wheelchair position, mobile bed patients ingesting film, but also be able to cope with. However, when using this equipment, the movement of the bulb tube is a very important part, because improper operation may lead to equipment damage or patient injury. Therefore, it is essential to understand the precautions to be taken when moving the bulb tube of suspension structure DR. First, we need to understand what a bulb tube is. In a suspended structure DR system, the bulb tube is the key component for generating X-rays. When an electric current passes through the bulb, the cathode inside the bulb emits electrons, which are accelerated by a high-voltage electric field and hit the anode to produce
