A C-arm fluoroscopy device is an x-ray device which enables to capture real-time (instantaneous) images during an operation, which is used by particularly the orthopedics, traumatology, algology, urology, neurosurgery units. The C-arm fluoroscopy, which can capture an image of the desired region in the body, enables to shorten operation time and to conduct several surgical procedures percutaneously. It is also used to verify the accuracy of the region where the procedure is being carried out during a surgical operation and to confirm the positions of the implants that are used. The fluoroscopy device is usually used during orthopedic surgeries for broken bones; when extracting foreign objects and bullets after a shooting injury, to confirm that the implants have been positioned correctly into the backbone during neurosurgery, and during closed treatment of kidney stones by the urology department. By means of C-arm fluoroscopy, instantaneous, digital high-quality imaging is provided, lower radiation is given, and faster imaging is carried out thereby reducing surgical operation time, and the images can be stored in a computer and they can be replicated and processed.
An x-ray tube is provided at one end of the C shaped arm, and a recording system is provided at the other end of the C-arm fluoroscopy device. The x-rays that are formed by the x-ray tube, is passed over the region of the patient that is desired to be imaged. The detector located at the opposite side of the C-arm absorbs the x- rays that have not been absorbed and processes them, and eventually reflects them as an image on the screen. The C arm is a completely mobile system that is attached to the top section or the body of the device. The horizontal movements of the C arm, enable capturing images from different angles. By means of the arm that can rotate 360°, the desired position can be taken at both the horizontal and vertical axis. The system is completed with a patient table that moves in all directions called floating tables and monitors.
The clearest image is obtained by means of the C-arm fluoroscopy when the midpoint of the fluoroscopy tube overlaps the midpoint of the area to be captured (the center) as an image. The radiation source tube and the area to be imaged need to be aligned. Each imaging subjects the patient and the surgical staff to ionized radiation. Ionized radiation can lead to cancer, cataracts, and gastrointestinal diseases. Protection equipment has been provided such as lead fluoroscopy apron, lead glasses, etc., in order to protect the surgical staff. These types of equipment enable protection by means of the lead they contain. Due to this reason, although they provide high protection rates, they are difficult to be worn during surgery. Moreover, a method with protects the patient from radiation is not available. Due to this reason, apparatus is required which enables to place the desired region in the x-ray image obtained during an operation, to the center of the image.
