C-arm Fluoroscopy

Fox Arc

The console at the C-arm.

Fox Arc is the operating console for a mobile C-arm, built for equipment makers who bring their own detector and generator. It takes the patient from the worklist, shows the live image while the beam is on, keeps the dose in view, and sends the run to the PACS.

  • Fluoro

    Continuous and pulsed fluoroscopy, with half dose.

  • DSA

    Subtraction and roadmap, on the live image and on saved runs.

  • Protocols

    8 protocols picked from a body figure, and a one-tap emergency patient.

  • PACS

    A send queue with retry that survives a restart.

Dose in view while the beam is on: DAP, air kerma and dose rate, with a fluoroscopy limit of five minutes or less.

01Data In, Data Out

How a Case Moves Through Fox Arc

Fox Arc takes the patient, a protocol and the live frames, and sends out the run to the PACS, to print, to media and into the dose report.

  • Your C-arm

    The live frames from your detector while the beam is on, and the patient from the worklist or registered at the console.

  • 1 Register

    The patient and one of 8 protocols, or a one-tap emergency patient.

  • 2 Image

    Continuous or pulsed fluoroscopy, spot radiographs, and CINE loops that save themselves.

  • 3 Dose and DSA

    DAP, air kerma and dose rate in view, and a DSA or a roadmap.

  • 4 Review

    The run frame by frame: window and level, markers and measurement.

  • Data out

    The run sent to the PACS through a queue that survives a restart, printed on film or paper, or exported, with the dose report.

    • PACS
    • Film and paper
    • Export
    • Dose report
02The Toolset

Everything a Fluoro Case Needs

Grouped the way the case runs.

Patient and Protocol

Register at the console or take the order from the worklist; the body figure picks the region and the protocol.

  • Body figure
  • 8 protocols
  • Emergency patient
  • Worklist
  • Study list

Fluoroscopy

Live imaging with the dose on screen the whole time the beam is on.

  • Continuous
  • Pulsed
  • ½ dose
  • kV · mA · p/s
  • AEC
  • Spot radiograph
  • CINE auto-save

Vascular

Subtraction and roadmapping on the live image and on saved runs.

  • DSA
  • Roadmap
  • Landmark
  • Pixel shift
  • Mask frame
  • Max opacification

Review

Read a saved run frame by frame and keep what you set with the series.

  • Window / level
  • Side markers
  • Line and angle
  • Calibration
  • Crop
  • Dose report

Output

Get the case out the way the hospital wants it.

  • PACS send queue
  • Film print to 4×4
  • Paper print
  • DICOM + DICOMDIR
  • JPEG · BMP · AVI
  • Anonymise

Safety and Records

The console knows who is at it and keeps a record of what happened.

  • 3 roles
  • Idle lock
  • Lockout
  • Audited emergency access
  • Start-up self-test
  • Audit and alarm log
03How a Case Runs

Register → Image → Send

The order an operator works in during a case.

Register

Take the patient from the worklist or register them, including a one-tap emergency patient, and choose one of eight protocols.

Image

Run continuous or pulsed fluoroscopy, take spot radiographs and let CINE loops save themselves.

Watch the dose

DAP, cumulative air kerma and dose rate stay on screen while the fluoroscopy timer counts toward its limit.

Review

Set window and level, make a DSA, add markers and measure against a calibration.

Send and print

Send to the PACS, print film or paper, or export to media, with the dose report.

04Platform

Built for the C-arm You Are Making

The console, the image pipeline and the DICOM side are in place; the detector and generator drivers are where it meets your hardware.

8

Protocols

General, orthopaedic extremity and hip, spine, abdomen, urology, cardiac and vascular.

≤ 5 min

Fluoro limit

Continuous fluoroscopy is held to a limit of five minutes or less.

4 × 4

Print layouts

Frames on film or paper at 1, 2×2, 3×3 or 4×4 per sheet.

TLS

DICOM links

TLS 1.2 and 1.3 per DICOM node, with a send queue that survives a restart.

3

Roles

Technician, radiologist and manager, with idle lock and lockout.

.NET 8

Windows console

WPF on Windows 10 and 11, 64-bit, with detector and generator simulators for bench work.

05For Equipment Makers

Bring the C-arm. The Console Is Ready.

What Fox Arc does at the C-arm.

Already in the console

  • Live imaging: continuous and pulsed fluoroscopy, half dose, spot radiographs and CINE loops
  • Vascular tools: DSA, roadmap, landmark and pixel shift
  • Dose in view: DAP, cumulative air kerma and dose rate on screen, with a fluoroscopy time limit of five minutes or less
  • DICOM: worklist, sending to the PACS through a queue that survives a restart, film and paper printing, and export to media
  • Safety nets: sign-in with roles, idle lock, audited emergency access and a start-up self-test
