Everyone knows that [Siemens ARCADIS C-Arms](https://www.atlantisworldwide.com/product_category/c-arms/siemens/) deliver high performance and quality and can be a great investment for your practice, hospital or clinic.  However, with three different ARCADIS [C-arms](https://www.atlantisworldwide.com/product_category/c-arms/) to choose from, how do you know which one is right for you?

Let’s explore the differences between the ARCADIS Orbic 3D, ARCADIS Varic and ARCADIS Avantic.

![siemens_arcadis_31](https://info.atlantisworldwide.com/hs-fs/hubfs/siemens_arcadis_31.jpg?width=900&name=siemens_arcadis_31.jpg)

The [**ARCADIS Orbic 3D**](https://www.atlantisworldwide.com/atlantis_products/siemens-arcadis-orbic/) is a high-end C-arm with iso-centric design and 190 degree orbital movement.  It’s ideal for intraoperative use in orthopedic, trauma and spine surgery.

The [**ARCADIS Varic**](https://www.atlantisworldwide.com/atlantis_products/siemens-arcadis-varic/) supports a broad range of applications like orthopedics, trauma, vascular surgery and urology.

The [**ARCADIS Avantic**](https://www.atlantisworldwide.com/atlantis_products/siemens-arcadis-avantic/) is a high-end, high power multi-purpose C-Arm.  It provides a larger field of view for vascular and cardiac surgery, gastroenterology and other fields of practice.

#### Now, let’s look at what all three systems have in common:

• Optimally matched, fully digital 1K ²-imaging chain from image acquisition to viewing and archiving.  
• Automatic dose, contrast and brightness control with EASY (Enhanced Acquisition System).  
• Large 19” high-brightness, high contrast TFT monitors.  
• Extraordinarily wide viewing angle of 170° and a highly ergonomic mounting on the trolley.  
• Monitor out interface for viewing on additional monitors.

#### Now, let’s look at some of the specific differences:

**Imaging Features Available Only with ARCADIS Orbic 3D:** • Requires only 30 seconds for a complete standard quality scan with 50 2D images in 1K2 resolution.  It requires 60 seconds for a high quality scan comprising 100 2D images  
• Short and sweet, the iso-centric design and 190º orbital movement offers virtually unlimited imaging projection.  
• 3D Image Fusion for merging 3D data even from different modalities.  
• VRT (Volume Rendering Technique) for volume visualization and easy orientation in the dataset.   
• 3D dual monitor support allows for synchronized parallel scrolling displayed on two monitors.   
• Each moving direction of the C-arm is represented by a color-coded measurement scale  
• Intuitive selection of programs by using VPA (Virtual Patient Anatomy). Simply click on the VPA body region to be examined to select the appropriate application program

**Imaging Features Available Only With ARCADIS Avantic:**

• (13”) image Intensifier  
• High tube currents of up to 250 mA  
• “Power Mode” for applications where high power is required  
• DCM* (Digital Cine Mode) with up to 30 f/s image acquisition for imaging of moving dye and organs  
• Permanently optimized imaging through dual focus and rotating anode  
• Counterbalanced C-arm design with excellent values in free space, immersion depth and overscan provides superior patient access and positioning flexibility  
• Electromagnetic brakes with intelligent color coding makes positioning fast and easy.   
• The multifunction footswitch* (as an alternative to the standard footswitch) allows control of all operating modes and single image storage out of the sterile field.

**Integration Into Clinical Workflows: What All Three Have in Common:**

▪    Fully functional multi-modality workstations. Multi-modality viewing allows you to access images from other modalities, like CT & MR.  
▪    Supports virtually all DICOM* 3.0 functionalities, i.e., comprehensive connectivity with other modalities and clinical networks.  
▪    All patient data can be loaded to your worklist directly from your HIS/RIS.  
▪    You can query the archive using the search function.  
▪    Syngo DICOM* Viewer for platform independent viewing of images.  
▪    The X-ray tube delivers currents of up to 23 mA in demanding interventions. It also allows for over 50 minutes of fluoro time in low dose.  
▪    Fluoro Loop* delivers an automatic replay of acquired scenes directly after radiation stops.  
▪    With LSH* (Last Scene Hold), up to 120 of the last acquired images can be kept in a temporary memory and optionally stored in the local database.  
▪    Ergonomic lightweight and compact trolley design provides better maneuverability and requires less space.  
▪    Cable-free rear side and 180° rotatable monitors significantly reduces the distance to the OR table.  
▪    Monitors can be adjusted vertically and horizontally for adaption to application specific needs.  
▪    You get intelligent accessory and cable management, such as integrated CD and pen box.  
▪    Easy accessibility to all network and video interfaces for direct connections, without any cable chaos.  
▪    X-ray indicator is located on top of the monitors for best visibility from all directions.

**All Three Provide Optimal Flexibility in Data Handling**

▪    Supports virtually all DICOM 3.0 functionalities (including DICOM Send/Receive, Storage Commitment, Print, Worklist, Query/Retrieve and MPPS).*  
▪    Provides almost unlimited options for postprocessing, archiving and documentation (with CD, DVD in DICOM and with USB in DICOM and BMP format).  
▪    You get an overall storage capacity of 60,000 images.

**All Three Provide Dose-Saving Features**

An integrated laser light localizer*, radiation free collimation and multi-level dose control are only a few of many optional dose reduction features.

**All Three Offer Optional Emotion* Sound System**

This integrated onboard sound system provides a positive working atmosphere on all three ARCADIS systems.  
*Optional

**NaviLink 2D* Is Only Available on Orbic & Varic C-Arms**

Integrated, digital 1 K²-navigation interface NaviLink 2D features automatic transfer of 2D images in 1024 x 1024 resolution for optimum surgical navigation.
