How it all works & why it is
revolutionary to the medical imaging industry.
INTRODUCTION TO VIRTUAL C TECHNOLGY ​
​
Virtual C technology is like no other fluoroscopy systems, the technology does not require pulsed radiation (pulsed fluoro). Virtual C instead works with radiographic exposures "Radiographic Fluoroscopy". This novel technology breakthrough is the subject of 40% to 70% less radiation dose compared to pulsed fluoro (C-Arm) systems.
​
At its core, the Virtual C System is a mobile imaging system that acquires, processes & displays both static radiographic images & dynamic radiographic images, such as multi-rad and radiographic fluoroscopy. What sets the Virtual C apart from traditional imaging systems and methods utilizing a physical C/U-arm, is that the Virtual C allows for dynamic image acquisition without the limitations of a mechanical linkage between the X-ray source and X-ray detector.
-
Currently, physical C- or U-arms are used to ensure the alignment of imaging components during image acquisition; the physical linkage of the components has proven problematic in a number of use scenarios, often putting critical care patients at a disadvantage due to the machine’s physical limitations.
-
PortaVision’s Virtual C system instead relies on our novel, patented Border Detection Module (BDM) & Custom Flat Panel Detectors
-
A radiographic X-ray system, BDM and custom radiographic/fluoroscopic detector, in combination come together to create the Virtual C System & eliminate the restrictions and obstacles of traditional C-arm imaging.
