What is the difference between x-ray and c-arm ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
A c-arm: is a piece of xray equipment used primarily for fluoroscopic imaging during surgical, orthopedic, critical care, and emergency care procedures. It is shaped roughly like a large "C", hence the name. Xray is the type of radiation used by a c-arm and other radiographic equipment to generate an image.
