After you've made some C-arm decisions about image intensifier size, software packages, generator power, and price, you may also need to consider how much C-arm your facility (and your team) can handle, that is- what C-arm footprint is best for the room you have and the maneuverability you need?
Below is a comparison of ten models of full size C-arms in their standard configurations. The systems include larger C-arms like the Siemens Avantic and the OEC 9800 and more compact models like the Philips Pulsera and the Siemens Compact L.
Siemens Avantic | Siemens Orbic | OEC 9800 (9 inch) | OEC 9900 (9 inch) | |
C-arm Size | 33.5" W x 77.6" L | 31.5" W x 90" L | 33.2" W x 75.9"L | 33.5" W x 77.8" L |
Cart Size | 33.5" W x 27.6" D | 33.5" W x 27.6" D | 27" W x 27" D | 35.5" W x 27.3" D |

C-arm Size | 32" W x 77.1"L | 31.5" W x 74"L | 32" W x 74" L | 35" W x 71.4"L | 30.7"W x 75.8"L | 31.5" W x 68"L |
Cart Size | 27.5" W x 27.5"D | 35" W x 27.6"D | 33.5"W x 31.5"D | 31.5" W x 31.5"D | 27.25" W x 27.25"D | Monitor is attached |
Keep in mind that some C-Arm needs can't be met by compact models. If you're going to need a 12" image intensifier or a generator strong enough for bariatrics, for example, you'll probably need to turn to a model like those in the "large" tier. If your needs will be more along the standard lines (orthopedics, basic surgery, pain management), however, a compact model could be a good fit.
