Fixed C-Arms Revolutionize Operating Room Environments

WALTHAM, Mass., Feb. 21 /PRNewswire/ -- According to Millennium
Research Group's Global Markets for C-Arms 2008 report, the US
market for fixed C-arm systems, comprising units used for cardiology,
angiography, and neuroradiology procedures, was valued at over$
1.4 billion in 2007 and will rise to over $1.8 billion by 2012.

In the US, several hospitals have begun using fixed C-arms in
operatingroom (OR) environments. This trend has emerged as a result
of the physician movement towards collaborative surgeries, in which
many specialists work together to perform complex procedures. The
installation of a C-arm system in the OR allows for the ideal imaging
environment for this approach.
