Reconditioning Process:
All Arcadis's go through a multistep reconditioning process. Each unit is restored to a like-new status. Pain Management, Orthopedics and Rehabilitation Services are just a few of the applications utilizing the reconditioned Arcadis c-arm. The rotating x-ray tube allows for greater penetration and resolution for the lumbar area when doing needle localizations or other work involving the thicker anatomical areas of patients. For barium swallows a VCR or Digital Video Recorder can be utilized for better record keeping and post study analysis. The 1K X 1K CCD Technology used in the Arcadis image system allows for crisp, clear imaging. Whatever the purpose, a reconditioned Arcadis will deliver the results you can depend on.
