Orthoscan
TAU 2020 Mini C-arm
Squarish, shallow depth detectors are all the rage in full-size and mini
C-arms, but the new Orthoscan mini C-arm shows that bigger could
be better. The detector measures a full 20 cm by 20 cm — the largest
in the mini C-arm space — which theoretically provides the cost and
convenience of a full-size C-arm with the radiation dosage of a mini C-
arm. This unit also boasts modern, upgraded controls and a large,
high-resolution touchscreen monitor. I don't think I'll ever use my
rickety old mini C-arm again without demanding that my ASC buy one
of these gems.
