C-arm

A C-arm is a medical imaging device used primarily during surgeries and other procedures to obtain real-time X-ray images. Shaped like the letter "C," it allows doctors to see inside the body without making large incisions. The device can move around the patient to provide different angles, helping surgeons guide instruments, place implants, or diagnose issues precisely. The images it produces are displayed instantly on a screen, aiding in accurate decision-making. C-arms are essential in fields like orthopedics, cardiology, and emergency medicine for safe and effective procedures.
