Enhanced Surgical Precision with C-Arm Imaging:
Fourways Veterinary Hospital is proud to be one of the leading veterinary clinics equipped with a state-of-the-art C-Arm Interventional Suite. This advanced technology provides our highly skilled surgeons with real-time fluoroscopic imaging during surgical, orthopedic, and emergency procedures, enabling exceptional precision and minimal invasiveness.
What is C-Arm Imaging?
A C-Arm system is a specialized type of X-ray equipment that utilizes a C-shaped arm for maneuverability. It combines an X-ray source and detector, allowing veterinarians to capture real-time fluoroscopic images during surgical procedures. This provides a significant advantage over traditional X-rays, which capture static images.
Benefits of C-Arm Imaging in Veterinary Surgery:
- Improved Surgical Accuracy: C-arm imaging allows surgeons to visualize anatomical structures, implants, and instruments in real-time, enhancing precision and minimizing the risk of errors during surgery.
- Minimally Invasive Procedures: C-arm guidance facilitates minimally invasive surgical techniques, leading to smaller incisions, faster recovery times, and reduced pain for your pet.
- Reduced Anesthetic Time: The ability to visualize procedures in real-time can potentially shorten the duration of anesthesia required, improving your pet's overall safety and well-being.
- Applications in Various Procedures: C-arm imaging is valuable for a wide range of surgical procedures, including:
Orthopedic surgery: Fracture repair, joint replacements, and other orthopedic procedures can benefit from C-arm guidance for precise implant placement and real-time visualization of bone structures.
Urinary tract procedures: C-arm imaging can assist with urethral stent placements and other urinary tract interventions.
Minimally invasive surgery: C-arm guidance is essential for laparoscopic and thoracoscopic surgeries, allowing surgeons to operate through small incisions with enhanced visualization.
Cardiovascular procedures: C-arm fluoroscopy can be used for procedures like pulmonic stenosis balloon valvuloplasty and pacemaker implantations.
