Moblie C-arms have seen several advances over the past decade, moving toward digital flat panel detectors, improved image quality, advanced imaging features and workflow improvements. Here are some recent advances.



At the American Association of Physicists in Medicine (AAPM) 2019 meeting, new artificial intelligence (AI) software to assist with radiotherapy treatment planning systems was highlighted. The goal of the AI-based systems is to save staff time, while still allowing clinicians to do the final patient review. 


Radiology, like all the departments in hospitals and clinics, has undergone significant changes since early-2020, namely a large reduction in procedure volumes and in finding new ways to communicate with patients via telehealth.
