OEC Mobile Carm Technology Advances Interventional Imaging Precision

In modern interventional procedures, imaging performance directly influences surgical precision and safety. The OEC series mobile C-arm system is designed to provide fluoroscopic and three-dimensional volumetric imaging in the operating room, addressing the need for high clarity and efficiency in complex interventional treatment.

Core imaging and visualization

The OEC mobile C-arm system combines advanced imaging algorithms with hardware configuration to improve intraoperative visualization. During fine guidewire manipulation, the system demonstrates high resolution, clearly presenting 0.014-inch guidewires in thoracic and abdominal regions and 0.008-inch guidewires in peripheral vascular procedures. With a large 4K display, physicians can observe small lesions and device paths with greater precision.

To address common clinical noise interference, the system integrates the enhanced noise reduction, or eNR, software algorithm. The technology automatically reduces image noise by 30 percent, allowing mobile imaging to approach the visual performance of 30 kW high-power fixed-room equipment. This supports cleaner, more detailed image data without increasing radiation dose.

Efficiency and operational flexibility

The system is designed to support long, highly complex interventional procedures through several efficiency-focused features:

• Live Zoom dynamic magnification: Supports up to 4x digital zoom in fluoroscopy or Cine mode without adjusting radiation dose.
• Thermal management: Delivers heat dissipation performance intended to maintain stable operation during prolonged continuous procedures and avoid performance declines caused by overheating.
• Multifunctional integration: Supports multiple configurations, including mobile cone-beam CT, to accommodate different procedural requirements.

3D reconstruction and clinical applications

The OEC 3D system provides volumetric data from five different viewing angles, producing CT-like imaging results. The accompanying OEC 3D Volume Viewer software allows physicians to perform multi-oblique slicing, region measurement, window width and level adjustment, rotation and zoom, providing imaging support for intraoperative decision-making.

The system is used across a range of interventional treatments, including prostate artery embolization, uterine artery embolization, pelvic congestion syndrome treatment, genicular artery embolization and venous leak embolization.
