The Effect of C-Arm Mobility and Field of Vision on Radiation Exposure in the Treatment of Proximal Femoral Fractures: A Randomized Clinical Trial

Figure 1

The distinct features of two fluoroscopy devices used (device A, OEC 9900 Elite, General Electric Healthcare, USA; device B, OEC Brivo 785 Essential, General Electric Healthcare, USA). ((1A) and (1B)) Device A having a bigger image intensifier size and longer C-arm depth, which affects the field of vision, when compared to device B. ((2A) and (2B)) Device A has more degree of freedom of C-arm maneuverability when compared to device B. This enables the technician to find the area of interest only moving the C-arm while keeping the device still thus facilitating the use during surgery.
