C-Arm is an x-ray equipment in which it is possible to produce images in real time with up to thousands of gray tones through the generation of digital images.
They are normally used in general surgery, urology, orthopedics, vascular, neurosurgery, gastro and hemodynamics and pacemaker implants, among other procedures.
To present the image, generated by the x-rays, in real time on a monitor, an image intensifier is used, which consists of a vacuum glass tube, which contains a fluoroscopic screen that converts the x-rays into visible light. The screen is a second screen that converts photons to electrons using the principle of photoelectricity.
