Flat-Panel Systems
Most mobile C-arms use image intensifiers with a charge-coupled device (CCD) camera. Ziehm was the first to introduce a digital flat-panel detector system with its Vision FD flat-panel detector (FPD) mobile C-arm. Philips followed with its 2009 release of the Veradius system.
Manufacturers say the flat-panel detectors offer better image quality and a smaller system that takes up less room in the OR. They also offer a larger field of view (FOV) that is unaffected by geometrical distortions, and the detector is not affected by magnetic distortions, so the system can be freely positioned. Philips says a smaller flat-panel detector offers fewer obstructions in the OR, allowing more room to see team members and coordinate tasks.
