Mobile C-Arms Fitted with New CMOS Flat-Panel Technology

A new generation of full-sized C-arm imaging solutions is now available fitted with CMOS Flat-Panel (FP) technology.

This latest generation of C-arms provides both improved image quality, and minimized radiation dose. The new FP CMOS technology replaces current amorphous silicon detectors, and closes the gap between the cost efficiency of image intensifiers, and quality of images from flat-panel technologies.


The Ziehm Solo FD, and Ziehm Vision RFD, systems are both available with the new Flat Panel (FD) CMOS detectors, and are produced by Ziehm Imaging (Nuremberg, Germany). Ziehm Imaging develops, and manufactures innovative mobile X-Ray imaging solutions, including mobile C-arm systems.

The Ziehm Solo FD mobile C-arm is intended for use in trauma, orthopedic, and pain management interventions, and provides improved contrast for imaging soft tissue, and bone. The Ziehm Vision RFD system can be used for vascular procedures, and includes a 25 kW power generator. This system will be available commercially with CMOS technology, in the beginning of 2017. The Ziehm Vision RFD Hybrid Edition is a mobile hybrid solution that is intended for cardiovascular procedures.

Ziehm Imaging has also released the new Ziehm NaviPort 3D interface that is intended for image-guided navigation, and can improve the precision, and reliability of surgical procedures. The new interface connects navigation systems with the Ziehm Vision RFD 3D C-arm providing intraoperative 3D imaging and navigation.
