This battery-operated, cordless mini C-arm features a 27-inch touch-
screen monitor and a six-by-six-inch imaging area with 100μm pixel reso-
lution. Its CMOS flat panel detector, at 1.5 inches thick, is billed as the
thinnest on the market. The platform's support stand and monitor cart,
which includes locking wheels and a battery charger, can stand inde-
pendently or be connected to act as a single unit for easy transport and
storage. Other features include a wireless tablet and footswitch, a
durable carbon fiber frame, and software that automatically
detects dense objects and adjusts contrast and brightness to
optimize the image.

G-Arm B6 Duo

The unique biplane design of this imaging system is well-
suited for spine, orthopedic trauma and pain manage-
ment procedures. Unlike conventional monoplane C-
arms, the G-Arm allows users to capture antero-
posterior and lateral images simultaneously and in real
time, removing the need for repeated articulation of the
imaging gantry. Whale Imaging says this approach saves
time, reduces cumulative radiation dosages and minimizes
nosocomial infection risk. Its real-time panoramic imaging
option produces images in seconds rather than minutes, says
the company, which plans to expand its G-Arm range this year with a flat panel version.

888-826-9702
The Cios Alpha is a high-definition 2D mobile C-arm that leverages
Retina technology seen in high-end smartphones to deliver
optimal image quality, while its Combined Applications to
Reduce Exposure (CARE) technologies determine the proper
dose for each case. The system's intelligent power manage-
ment system includes an energy storage unit and active
cooling to prevent overheating while maintaining power. Its
anti-microbial surface and washable mouse make cleaning and disinfection as easy as possible. Coming
soon to the platform are new security functions to help minimize the risk of cyberattacks, including user
management software to prevent unauthorized access.
