For surgeons and pain management specialists, precision is everything. Legacy analog C-arms can create distortion, reduce image quality, and ultimately make procedures more difficult. At Artesia General Hospital, the team wanted a system that would deliver digital accuracy, sharper images, and smoother workflows in their surgical suites.
With support from Brown’s Medical Imaging, Artesia upgraded to the XR FUSION® Agility C-Arm—a digital platform designed to deliver pinpoint accuracy where it matters most.
Artesia’s older analog C-arms had served their purpose, but they came with limitations. Distorted images—especially near the edges—created challenges for physicians placing needles in delicate areas near the spinal cord.
As one clinician explained:
“He wanted precise imaging no matter where that needle was. He’s talking millimeters of accuracy—and the XR FUSION® gave that to him.”
The XR FUSION® Agility C-Arm delivered the accuracy and ease-of-use the hospital needed:
Flat-panel digital detectors for sharper, distortion-free imaging
Laser alignment tools for faster, more efficient positioning
Pinpoint accuracy critical for pain management and spine procedures
Streamlined workflow with maneuverability and dual-monitor visibility
User-friendly design that improves technologist efficiency in the OR
Compared to other vendors and systems tested, the XR FUSION® Agility proved to be the clear choice.
For physicians, the improved accuracy means safer, more precise procedures. For technologists, easier maneuvering and real-time monitor access make procedures smoother. And for patients, that precision translates into confidence and quality care.
“The quality compared to our old analogs is pinpoint. It’s also a lot easier to maneuver, and the laser helps me center more efficiently.”
Technology is only as effective as the people behind it. Brown’s Medical Imaging not only delivered the XR FUSIOIN® Agility C-Arm but also provided hands-on training to ensure the team was confident from day one.
“Brown’s showed me the ins and outs of it. They were really great when they trained me.”
With the XR FUSION® Agility C-Arm, Artesia General has elevated the precision of its surgical imaging. For complex procedures that demand millimeter accuracy, this upgrade ensures both clinicians and patients benefit from the reliability of advanced digital imaging.
