  2. Sensible Solutions for Refurbished Radiology Looking for a new C-Arm? There are so many different manufacturers offering a wide variety of features and functionality—how do you know which one is right for you? C-Arm Buying 2The experts at Atlantis Worldwide put together this list of considerations to help you choose the C-Arm that delivers the ideal performance for your needs. • Talk to your surgeons and physicians. What are they looking for from a clinical perspective? Their input will be incredibly valuable. • What is your budget? You need to determine how much you can spend. This will help determine if you’re looking at new or refurbished medical imaging devices.

  3. Sensible Solutions for Refurbished Radiology • What kind of image quality do you need? Newer machines with flat panel image detectors provide higher quality images. However, you want to make sure you protect everyone from radiation exposure while you’re getting those images. Most C-Arms offer low-dose modes, so you’ll use the least amount of radiation to get the best possible images. A safe option is choosing C-arms with a pulsed-image feature rather than one with only continuous live imaging. • What will you use your C-Arm for? You’ll want to choose the right C-Arm for your procedural priorities.

  4. Sensible Solutions for Refurbished Radiology • Do you have sufficient power? If your C-Arm is going into an OR, you’ll want to make sure it has sufficient power available, since many different devices are used, like a blanker warmer, surgical microscope, C-Arm, etc. • What kind of maintenance does the C-Arm require? You’ll need to assign a team that will be responsible for the machine, weekly, testing, training and radiation safety education and general upkeep. • What’s your backup plan? What happens if your C-Arm goes down? Sometimes it makes sense to buy multiple units, so there won’t be an issue if one C-Arm goes down.
