GE OEC 9900 Elite C-Arm Fluoroscopy

The GE OEC 9900 Elite C-arm uses a proprietary “no-mask” or motion tolerant subtraction technique to produce vascular images not previously possible on a mobile platform. The 9900 Elite uses advanced image processing that is faster than alternative technologies and applies specific processing algorithms or different “bandwidths” to accentuate what you want to see and attenuate what you don’t.

 

• Precision imaging Dynamic Range Management (DRM) for uncompromised image quality.
• Touchscreen controls
• Proprietary “no mask” or Motion Tolerant Subtraction (MTS) technique produces vascular images not previously possible on a mobile platform. Capabe to perform a complete extremity run-off with a single injection and single run.
• Unique X-ray tube and cooling system that allows for full-resolution imaging for longer periods of time.
• HD flat panel monitors on an articulating arm allow comfortable viewing of precise images.
• Remote service connectivity to enable system performance diagnostics.
• 1k x 1k high resolution imaging technology on a mobile system.
