Radiography students often assist with surgeries or invasive procedures using a C-arm during clinical rotations—a setting that can feel high-pressure. Having access to a refurbished C-arm from Brown’s Medical Imaging on campus allows students to learn and practice in a low-stakes environment before they step into real-world situations.
Safe Learning Space – Students can practice positioning and operating the C-arm without the stress of an active procedure.
Skill Development – Mistakes become valuable teaching moments, helping students refine techniques before clinicals.
Real-World Equipment – The refurbished unit mirrors what students will encounter in practice, ensuring familiarity.
The previous C-arm on campus was much older and lacked many modern digital imaging features. With the new system, students experience the latest capabilities, improving both their confidence and competence.
