Imaging technology has come a long way in the last 60 years. X-Rays go through soft tissue and reflect harder tissues such as bone. X-Ray images show these harder substances as white. This is why on an X-Ray, you can see skeletons. On an Ultrasound, it is much easier to see soft tissue. This would be used mainly on organ systems, instead of an X-Ray for bones.

At Soma Technology we offer many imaging options. Top manufacturers include GE, Siemens, and of course, Philips. We refurbish these C-arms to their original equipment manufacturer’s specifications.

Philips Veradius Features

The Philips Veradius Unity is crucial in achieving accuracy while imaging. High-quality images are produced with first-time results. The mobility factor allows the Veradius to be transported amongst different disciplines including vascular, cardiac, and orthopedic procedures. The Philips Veradius utilizes ClearGuide and color coding to speed positioning for spinal surgery and frequent position changes.

There are many features on the Unity c-arm. These include a wireless foot switch, PositionMemory repositioning, DoseAware real-time feedback, dual LCD Monitors, a flat detector, and a startup time of only 70 seconds. This c-arm has position memory. Positions and angles of the C-arm can be memorized by the machine. The flat detector is the third generation. A high dynamic range of the flat detector provides higher contrasted images.

The C- arm can rotate at 140 degrees. The parallel movement allows for rear-wheel steering and easy positioning. Touchscreen mobile view station monitors come standard. There is also a monoblock X-Ray generator, rotating anode X-Ray tube, pulsed fluoroscopy, integrated laser, and single shot exposure.
