What Kind of C-arm X-ray System Do You Need?

As you begin to search for a new C-arm X-ray System, do you know how to choose the most suitable one when you get a lot of information on the Internet?

There are many legwork to be done and a lot of assumptions need to be considered. Do you need Digital Subtraction Angiography System or Mobile C-arm X-ray System? What are their differences? To help you find out your true need, let’s begin from understand the differences.

The Digital Subtraction Angiography System is advanced X-ray diagnosis technology with image processing by computer. It is another major breakthrough in X-ray diagnosis technology after CT, mainly used in the diagnosis and treatment of systemic vascular diseases.

The diagnosis is took in a special operation room, it is called “cardiac cath lab”, where doctors perform minimally invasive tests and procedures to diagnose and treat cardiovascular disease. The advantage is small trauma and easy to recover comparing with surgery. Generally speaking, the contrast medium is injected into the blood vessels to be examined, so that the blood vessels are exposed to their original shape.

The clinical application scope of DSA includes the following aspects: intracardiac intervention, neurointervention, peripheral intervention, tumor intervention, comprehensive intervention, and non-vascular intervention.

Through the examination of the vascular system of the head and neck, diagnosis of craniocerebral standing lesions, arteriovenous malformations, cerebral vascular occlusion, carotid artery stenosis, occlusion, atherosclerosis and ulceration, etc.

Examination of the thoracic vascular system: for the diagnosis of congenital heart disease, valvular disease, cardiomyopathy, and coronary heart disease.

Examination of abdominal vascular system: angiography for stomach, intestine, liver, spleen, pelvis, etc.

Examination the vascular system of extremities, to diagnose stenosis, occlusion, hemorrhage, aneurysm, arterial malformation, etc.The mobile C-arm X-ray System is used for small number of simple peripheral vascular interventional procedures can be performed. It is used mostly in orthopaedics.
