On-Site C-Arm Machine
Diagnostic Equiptment
We're equipped with an On-Site C-Arm X-Ray Machine
C-Arm X-ray machines enable doctors and patients to get faster and more accurate results. They use intensifiers which magnify the readings making them far more accurate. Thus, lower amounts of X-rays are used to produce images, leading to lesser radiation exposure for both patients and professionals. All image intensifiers have software which is capable of adjusting settings to suit different user requirements, depending on the procedure and body area being imaged.
Once you are at Onto Orthopedics, your diagnostic and therapeutic needs will be completely taken care of, hassle-free, with the orthopedic expertise of Dr. Hayden.
High resolution X-ray images are obtained instantly
With these advanced images, Dr. Hayden can detect and check details of anatomical structures such as blood vessels, bones, kidney stones and the position of implants and instruments at any time, right at the clinic. Of late other physicians have started using C-arm devices in minimally invasive, general surgeries; pain management; cardiac, urology, vascular, and neurovascular surgeries.
These help the physician monitor progress meticulously during the operation and immediately make the required decisions and actions on the spot. The treatment outcomes are enhanced and patient recovery is more rapid.
A C-arm machine is generally used in two ways:
- As a fixed equipment in screening rooms.
- As a mobile/portable equipment in the operation theatre.
Also, as errors are reduced significantly, it reduces the need for follow-ups or repeat operations. Mobile equipment is usually smaller and lighter without compromising on effectiveness.

On-Site X-Ray Machine
Diagnostic Equiptment
We're equipped with an On-Site X-Ray Machine
An X-ray is usually the first test advised by a physician or orthopaedic surgeon, even in cases which may later require more advanced tests. An ordinary X-ray is a quick, easy and a comparatively cheap test.
With a high quality direct radiography detector, our in-house X-ray machine will help ensure top quality imaging with a quick turnaround.
The level of radiation exposure from a routine X-ray machine is not very harmful, but your doctor will take special precautions if you are pregnant.
X-rays can be useful for diagnosis in following conditions
Traumatic bone fractures, subluxation and dislocation of joints, bone abnormalities like bone tumours, erosions, loss of calcium, tendinitis, bone spurs or congenital abnormalities (birth defects).
Abnormalities of joints, such as rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, osteomyelitis (inflammation of the bone caused by an infection), gout, slipped discs, degenerative joints, narrowing of the joint, and changes in the structure of the joints.
Damage to soft tissues, such as cartilage, muscle, tendons, or ligaments that surround a bone.
Bone age study to evaluate growth and development problems in children
Follow up after joint replacement surgeries
Abnormalities in the alignment of the spine such as kyphosis or scoliosis
Certain metabolic and endocrine disorders that cause bony defects of the skull or calcifications within the brain may also be X-rayed for evaluation
In-office X-ray imagines makes for rapid, precise and convenient evaluations
In-office X-ray imaging can be essential for rapid, precise and convenient diagnosis and treatment evaluation.
In cases of X-rays related to bones, an orthopedic surgeon is typically well qualified to read the X-ray himself. In cases of fractures, after the cast is removed, an X-ray is advised to check the status of the fracture before the consequent treatment is commenced. In such cases, it could be dangerous to expect the patient to move out for a test.
