Philips BV Pulsera C Arm

The Philips BV Pulsera C-Arm is a multi-application mobile
X-ray imaging system for the most challenging
interventional procedures in Pain Management,
General, Orthopaedic, Vascular, Neuromuscular,
and Cardiac surgeries. It is a C-arm with a
powerful fluoroscopy system, a high-resolution CCD camera,
outstanding image quality, low X-ray dosage, crisp,
clear images, and superior penetration power.

Clear Visualisation
The Philips BV Pulsera features a full range of
radiation management protocols that allow
low X-ray doses even during lengthy procedures while
providing excellent image quality.
The Pulsera comes equipped with unique technology to
help maintain clear visualization of dense anatomy and
complex vasculature:

High Power Pulsed Exposure visualizes fast-moving anatomy
with outstanding image quality for a virtually unlimited time.

Unique BodySmart software promotes first-time-right imaging
and dose efficiency. It delivers consistently superb image
contrast by adapting the measuring field to the area of interest.

Automatic contrast and brightness offer single-touch
adjustment of contrast/brightness to the ROI to
enhance details in real time.

High High-definition fluoroscopy, like lateral hip exams,
provides full contrast for the steepest projections.

Digital Exposure (Sharp Shot) mode allows a single high-quality
image for archiving and printing.

Ortho Plus applies extra X-ray power to
visualize challenging regions of interest with
normal or obese patients.
