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

 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 of attenuation, the role of the scintillation layer. x-ray photons into visible light and then by the amorphous silicon photovoltaic layer is converted to electrical signals stored in capacitors, in the electrical signals are converted to digital signals, and finally after the internal storage and processing of the image will be displayed on the monitor.

From the technical principle, orthopedic flatbed C-arms have many advantages, and are superior to orthopedic shadow-enhanced C-arms in terms of image quality, imaging speed, amplitude field of view, and dosage. Over the past 15 years, the C-arm X-ray market has shifted from image intensifiers (IIs) to flat panel detectors (FPDs). While there are still many hospitals using shadow-enhanced C-arms, it is a foregone conclusion that they will be phased out by flat-panel C-arms.

As a more advanced technology, digital flat panel detectors are also widely used in interventional therapy, such as orthopedic flat panel C-arms designed specifically for peripheral interventional therapy – PLX7100A mobile flat panel interventional C, which is equipped with a new type of large-size amorphous silicon dynamic flat panel detector with a larger field of view, and is capable of Realize one-time full coverage of thoracic, abdominal and pelvic cavities, reducing the number of exposures, lowering the radiation dose, avoiding overlap and omission, and shortening the operation time.

How to Perform Special Position Photography with Suspending Digital DR?

图片
  In the rapid development of inspection technology is rapidly changing today, digital DR technology is one of the indispensable inspections in medical imaging department. Digital DR is mainly divided into: bed type, double column type, sickle arm type, suspended digital DR. Among them, the suspended digital DR has a suspended head, the bulb tube can be lifted up and down, and can be along the sky track for horizontal and vertical movement, so that its shooting range is larger compared with other DR, and at the same time, the movement is more flexible. POLYDER Suspended Digital DR is more efficient than conventional X-ray spot filming for complex body positioning photography through rapid fluoroscopic positioning. Suspending Digital DR Suspending Digital DR Specialized Positioning Photography – Weight-bearing Position Non-weight-bearing films in the foot and ankle position can miss deformities in the alignment of bone structures and abnormal changes in the joint cavity.

Exploring the price and cost-effectiveness of spinal surgery robots

图片
  As technology continues to evolve, spinal surgical robots have become an important technology in the medical field. However, the cost of purchasing a spinal surgical robot remains a non-negligible issue for many healthcare organizations. First, let’s look at spine surgery robot prices. According to market research, a spinal surgery robot typically costs between $1 million and $3 million, not including follow-up costs such as installation, maintenance, and training. This price is undoubtedly a huge investment for most healthcare organizations. However, considering the multiple benefits of spinal surgery robots, such as increased success rates, shorter recovery times, and fewer medical errors, this investment seems necessary. Perlove Medical Spine Surgery Robot Next, let’s explore the cost-effectiveness of surgical robots: First , spinal surgery robots can significantly reduce the incidence of medical errors. According to statistics, medical errors caused by human factors account for u

Radiological equipment丨The Solution for Percutaneous Kyphoplasty in Women

图片
  Compression fractures, particularly in women over the age of 66, are a common clinical cause that can greatly impact one’s quality of life. A leading solution for this condition is   percutaneous kyphoplasty , a minimally invasive procedure that has shown remarkable effectiveness in alleviating pain and restoring vertebral height. Perlove Medical, a renowned medical technology company,  offers an innovative robot-assisted percutaneous kyphoplasty solution that has revolutionized treatment outcomes. Understanding the Problem: Compression fractures often occur due to osteoporosis or trauma and can lead to severe pain, reduced mobility, and even disability. Women over the age of 66 are particularly susceptible to these fractures due to age-related bone density loss. Treating this condition promptly is crucial for preventing further complications. The Solution: Perlove Medical  has developed a state-of-the-art robot-assisted percutaneous kyphoplasty solution that addresses key challenges
