    This document discusses the design and development of a C-arm machine. A C-arm is a medical imaging device used in operating rooms that contains an X-ray source and detector connected by a C-shaped arm, allowing images to be taken of patients from various angles. The proposed design is a ceiling-mounted C-arm used for imaging during brachytherapy procedures. It would allow doctors to see real-time, high resolution images of patient anatomy during surgery or other procedures in order to monitor progress and make corrections. This helps improve treatment outcomes and speeds up patient recovery times.

    DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT OF

    C-ARM MACHINE
    ABSTRACT
    • A mobile C-arm is a medical imaging device that
    is based on X-ray technology and can be used
    flexibly in various ORs within a clinic. The name
    is derived from the C-shaped arm used to
    connect the X-ray source and X-ray detector to
    one another. Today, mobile imaging systems are
    an essential part of everyday hospital life:
    Specialists in fields such as surgery, orthopedics,
    traumatology, vascular surgery and cardiology
    use C-arms for intraoperative imaging.
    • This device provides high-resolution X-ray
    images in real time, thus allowing the physician
    to monitor progress at any point during the
    operation and immediately make any
    corrections that may be required. Consequently,
    the treatment results are better and patients
    recover more quickly. Hospitals benefit from
    cost savings through fewer follow-up operations
    and from minimized installation efforts. The
    proposed C-arm design is ceiling mounted type
    used for imaging during brachytherapy .
    OBJECTIVE
    • Mobile Fluoroscopic System, also known
    as portable or mobile C-arm, comprises a
    generator (X-ray source) and an image
    intensifier or flat-panel detector. The C-shaped
    connecting element allows movement
    horizontally, vertically and around the swivel
    axes, so that X-ray images of the patient
    are produced from almost any angle.
    • The generator emits X-rays that penetrate the
    patient’s body. The image intensifier or detector
    converts the X-rays into a visible image displayed on
    the C-arm monitor. Physician can check anatomical
    details such as bones and the position of implants
    and instruments at any time.
    • A C-arm comprises a generator (X-ray source) and an
    image intensifier or flat-panel detector. The C-shaped
    connecting element allows movement horizontally,
    vertically and around the swivel axes, so that X-ray
    images of the patient can be produced from almost
    any angle.
    • The generator emits X-rays that penetrate the
    patient's body. The image intensifier or
    detector converts the X-rays into a visible
    image that is displayed on the C-arm monitor.
    The doctor can identify and check anatomical
    details on the image such as blood vessels,
    bones, kidney stones and the position of
    implants and instruments at any time.
    PROPOSED SYSTEM DESIGN
    SCOPE OF INDEX
    • C-arm fluoroscopic X-ray systems are used for a
    variety of diagnostic imaging and minimally invasive
    surgical procedures. In the operating room (OR), they
    help in visualizing kidney drainage, abdominal and
    thoracic aortic aneurysm repair, percutaneous valve
    replacements, cardiac surgery, vascular surgery,
    gastroenterology, neuro stimulation, orthopedics,
    pain management and neurology procedures.
    Included in the mobile C-arm category are mini C-
    arms, which are smaller systems used in clinics for
    sports medicine, orthopedic and podiatric imaging.
