Fourways Vet Hospital is currently one of the only veterinary clinics to have a C-Arm Interventional Suite which our highly experienced team use regularly for intraoperative imaging during surgical, orthopaedic and emergency care procedures.
The name derives from the C-shaped arm used to connect the x-ray source and x-ray detector to one another. C-arms have radiographic capabilities, though they are used primarily for fluoroscopic intraoperative imaging during surgical, orthopaedic and emergency care procedures.
This interventional unit is commonly used for urethral stent placements, airway examinations, pulmonic stenosis balloon valvuloplasty and pacemaker implantations.
C-Arm technology can reduce the length of time a patient is under anaesthetic and reduce the patient's overall recovery time.
