As a medical imaging device widely used in surgery, orthopedics and gynecology to guide surgery, C-arm has experienced the development stage from image enhancer C-arm, flat-panel detector C-arm, and three-dimensional imaging C-arm in recent years with the development of imaging technology and detector technology. As the king of this subdivision track, Qimu Medical is also the inventor of the C-arm of the image enhancer.
For more than 30 years, Cheemun Medical has been engaged in the research, development and production of mobile C-arm X-ray systems, and in 1983 introduced the first C-arm with a high-frequency integrated generator. At present, it has 4 C image enhancer C arms, namely Ziehm Vision R, Ziehm Vision, Ziehm Solo, Ziehm 8000, covering high-end products that can perform cardiovascular surgery and interventional cardiac interventional surgery, as well as low-end main compact and full-featured all-in-one products.
From the list price of the products published in the market, it can be seen that the transaction price of Qimu Medical Shadow Enhancement products covers about 500,000 to 4 million. The figure below shows the product and price system table of the C arm of the Qimu Medical Imaging Enhancer, of which the average market tender price of Ziehm Vision is about 2 million. Positioned externally as the "standard for mobile imaging", this C-arm is suitable for a wide range of surgical applications, and thanks to its liquid cooling system, it can be used continuously during longer surgeries, while boasting advanced features to ensure the lowest possible dose levels.
Equipped with an image intensifier field of view of 23 cm * 31 cm, the Ziehm Vision uses a 2 kW pulse all-in-one generator with a resolution of 1 k, a total pixel sum of only 1 million, and a orbital rotation angle of only 135°. In terms of product parameters and performance, there are many domestic manufacturers that are better than Ziehm Vision, and the price is more affordable.
With the intensification of the aging of the Chinese population, as well as the construction of medical infrastructure and the increase in investment in medical resources, the volume of surgical operations continues to rise, and many domestic medical equipment manufacturers have entered the C-arm field, or launched a new generation of innovative C-arm products. Such as Weimai Medical Genie 100 all-electric mobile tablet C arm, Lianying Medical uMC series tablet mobile C arm, Anjian Medical Yuehua series tablet mobile C arm, Kangda Tianmu PLUS monocrystalline silicon CMOS tablet C arm. The above-mentioned domestic mobile C-arms all use flat panel detectors or COMS flat panel detectors, with better image quality, larger imaging format, lower dose of the same image quality or under format, which is more efficient and convenient for intraoperative guidance, and the average transaction price is 1 million-1.5 million.
At present, the technology of flat panel detectors has been very mature, and more and more medical institutions choose to purchase flat panel detectors. At the same price, compared with the 2 million Ziehm Vision Shadow C arm, it is obvious that the high-end tablet C arm is a better choice, the product function is more powerful, and the future with technological innovation will also reduce the risk of product obsolescence. Recently, there are many medical equipment localization policies introduced, I believe that with the domestic medical equipment manufacturers to increase R & D investment, there will be more innovative technologies and products that meet clinical needs, and then jointly promote the development of the mobile C-arm industry.
