SIEMENS C-ARM-AMPLI DE BRILLANCE

Article:

The branch of medicine that deals with the use of radiant energy emitted as X-rays or other types of radiation for diagnosis and treatment of diseases. The radiology originated in 1895 by the discovery of X-rays by the German physicist Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen, which earned him the Nobel Prize for physics. Later, X-rays and other types of radiation were used to produce useful images to clinical diagnosis (diagnostic radiology) and to take particular types of treatments (therapeutic radiology).
It 's rare that a piece of equipment has multiple benefits for many medical procedures, but that is precisely the case with the new mobile fluoroscopic imaging system (dubbed the "C-arm" because of its shape) and the University of Georgia veterinary Teaching Hospital acquired last spring. The benefits for expanded services in radiology, soft tissue surgery and cardiology services (see the article "At the heart of the problem"), among others, are significant.
The extensive use of the C-arm is in surgery and minimally invasive procedures, but it is also very useful for dynamic studies of diagnostic breathing, swallowing and urination. The (Insert logo here) is a state of the art piece of equipment and is identical to the equipment used in human hospitals. The advantages compared to older equipment that include a dramatic increase in resolution imaging of small structures and capacity "road map." Technology road mapping digitally remove the background and corrects the cardiac and respiratory motion in order to facilitate the diagnosis and vascular surgery.
The addition of fluoroscopy unit will greatly enhance the ability of the VTH to insert vascular, tracheal, and urethral stents, treat intrahepatic shunt; conduct embolization procedures, and perform a series of life-saving cardiology procedures including balloon for placement of pacemaker and treatment of congenital heart defects.
The C-arm also plays an important role in orthopedics procedures for Involving the positioning of plates and doing minimally invasive fracture repair.
If you can avoid doing the surgery, you can reduce the pain that the patient experiences, reduce the risk of wound complications, and speed recovery.
The physical machine is only half of the equation when offering expanded services with the fluoroscopy unit - a qualified team is equally, if not more, important. The team of UGA VTH double deck includes several specialists who have extensive training and experience with the C-Arm.
