The Ciartic Move, a fully motorized mobile C-arm from Siemens Healthineers with self-driving capabilities, can accelerate and standardize 2D fluoroscopic and 3D cone-beam computed tomography (CT) imaging for surgeons and operating room teams in hospitals and outpatient facilities. Designed for orthopedic, trauma, and spine surgery, the Ciartic Move also can be used in thoracic, vascular, cardiovascular, and general surgery, as well as urology and interventional pulmonology. Its self-driving capabilities automate imaging workflows, reducing the time, effort, and workforce capacity required to manually move and position the C-arm. Up to 12 procedure-specific positions can be stored and recalled at the touch of a button, along with related imaging parameters. Users can experience time savings of almost 50% during spine surgery and 55% during pelvic surgery compared with traditional mobile C-arms. A single user can fully operate the system remotely via a wireless control, even from within the sterile field. Its fully motorized chassis and touch-sense handles enable effortless maneuvering.
