Are you considering adding a C-ARM x-ray machine to your practice but are not sure that you will use it enough to justify the cost?

Check your services for the following:

• Surgery, including minor operations
• Orthopedic procedures
• Fluoroscopic guided injections
• Outpatient procedures and first aid care, such as stitches, etc.

If you provide any of these services, your practice may be a good candidate for adding a C-ARM machine. For more information – including pricing and more – contact the industry leaders at Ultrasound Solutions Corp.

Are you considering adding a C-ARM x-ray machine to your practice? If so, you are probably curious as to which make and model would be best.

The truth is that depends on the needs of your practice and patients. It also depends on your budget, since this is a major consideration in whether you purchase a new or gently used model.

Your machine can range from a few thousand dollars to over a million, so be sure to take those needs into consideration before blindly committing to a purchase. Still need guidance? Talk to the industry leaders at the Ultrasound Solutions Corp. for more information!

The C-arm consists of a generator and an image intensifier or flat-panel detector. The C-arm x-ray machine's images are generated in real-time during procedures enabling surgeons to make decisions accordingly. Additionally, it is non-invasive, hence safe during and after screening procedures.

There are two types of C-arms: the full-size C-arms comprising the Oscar 15 and Oscar Classic, and the mini arm, the Orthoscan Mobile DI. USC Ultrasound offers these user-friendly C-arms at affordable prices.

The C-ARM x-ray machine is a useful tool in conducting certain types of surgery, orthopedic procedures, and more. It can be a valuable addition to your practice, whether you are already providing these services to patients or not.

However, cost is always a factor – and these machines are an investment. How much you will pay varies depending on numerous factors. These include:

• Software used
• Age of the unit
• Operating system, and more

A brand-new system can run over $80,000, while older, used machines will typically cost closer to $10,000 and up. On average, though, you can typically get a machine for around $25,000 that will last for years and meet most patient needs.
