Are you looking for a new C-Arm for your healthcare facility or veterinary clinic? C-Arms use fluoroscopy technology to produce high-resolution real-time X-ray images. These allow surgeons to closely monitor the progress of procedures and make decisions in real time.
Two exceptional C-Arms on the market on the Philips Zenition 70 and the GE OEC Elite CFD. While these systems are not readily available on the secondary market at the moment, more are hitting the market now than what we have seen in previous years. With that being the case, now is as good a time as any to understand the differences between the two models.Zenition 70 Mobile C-Arm With Flat Detector

It has an intuitive point and shoot design and on-screen guidance. It’s engineered for continuous imaging with SmartFilters’ enhanced heat management to support longer and complex procedures.
The standard Windows platform is ready to embrace new clinical applications and support and service technologies as they evolve. It has an 80-second boot up time for fast availability. You’ll be able to visualize complex structures and dense anatomy with exceptional clarity and dose control. You can also connect the Zenition mobile C-arm with other OR systems and hospital infrastructure thanks to advanced connectivity and interoperability tools including high speed wireless data transfer.
