The C-Arms derive their name from the rigid, C-shaped weldment that supports the Image
Intensifier, collimator, CCD Camera, and X-ray tube. These components together are commonly
called the “C”, and the entire assembly from the casters up is known as the “C-Arm”.
The X-Ray tube generates an X-ray beam that is shaped and oriented by the collimator. After
passing through patient anatomy, the beam is directed onto a film cassette to produce a
radiographic film image, or through the image intensifier and CCD camera, to convert the X-ray
image to a video signal that is transmitted to the Workstation for display, processing, and storage.
