The ARCADIS Orbic is a mobile -ray system designed to provide fluoroscopic and digital spot-film imaging of the patient during surgical and interventional procedures. As the image intensifier and the X-ray tube are mounted opposite to each other on a fixed structure looking like a "C", these devices are also called C-arms.
From image quality to operability, from versatility to efficiency, the innovative features of ARCADIS Orbic and Orbic 3D are geared to set new benchmarks and greatly contribute to maximum operational precision – with outstanding functionalities that make excellent imaging a snap, comprehensive postprocessing features, and an overall ergonomic concept that redefines your clinical workflow.
Unlike conventional intraoperative imaging systems, ARCADIS Orbic comes with an isocentric C-arm – a unique feature that significantly contributes to clinical efficiency and dose savings. The isocentric design of the C-arm makes readjustments a thing of the past, especially for examinations that require different projections (e.g., distal locking of long-bone fractures with AP and lateral X-ray).
Moreover, ARCADIS Orbic is capable of full 190° orbital movement with 95° overscan, which yields maximum flexibility in positioning. Virtually any conceivable projection can be performed without any vertical or horizontal readjustment.
Above all that, C-arm isocentricity paves the way for intraoperative 3D imaging, which delivers the decisive plus in control and certainty during operations, supersedes postoperative CT in most cases, and is optionally available for ARCADIS Orbic systems.
