A low-dose, workflow-focused imaging solution built for modern surgical environments

As demand for imaging continues to rise across surgical, orthopedic, and interventional procedures, healthcare providers are taking a closer look at how their C-Arm technology supports not just image capture, but overall clinical workflow, dose management, and capital efficiency.

At Pulse ISM, we’re seeing growing interest in the EXTRON C-Arm platform—and for good reason. Engineered around a fully digital architecture and optimized for modern clinical needs, EXTRON offers a compelling mix of performance, safety, and usability.

Whether you're upgrading an aging system, expanding procedural rooms, or looking for ways to reduce radiation exposure without compromising clarity, EXTRON is worth a closer look.

Built Around What Matters Most in C-Arm Imaging

True Digital, Low-Dose Imaging

At the heart of the EXTRON platform is its TRUDigital Architecture—a real-time digital imaging engine that eliminates the analog limitations of traditional image intensifier systems.

This system architecture supports:

• Consistent image quality across a broad field of view
• Faster image acquisition and display
• Low-dose performance without sacrificing diagnostic confidence

Whether you're capturing dynamic movement during procedures or visualizing fine anatomical structures, EXTRON delivers the clarity teams need—at a lower radiation cost.

IGZO Flat Panel Detectors: A New Standard in Clarity

Unlike legacy C-Arms still relying on image intensifiers, EXTRON incorporates next-generation IGZO flat panel detectors, which offer:

• Faster image transfer and refresh rates
• Smaller pixel size for higher resolution
• Distortion-free visualization across the entire field

These detectors enable better visualization during procedures and reduce the delays and retakes that can occur with older systems. For high-precision specialties like orthopedics, spine, and vascular imaging, these performance gains are significant.

Intelligent Dose Management

EXTRON isn't just engineered for quality—it’s designed for radiation safety.

Features include

• Dynamic pulse modes that reduce beam-on time
• Real-time noise reduction (RNR) that preserves image quality at lower dose settings
• Advanced beam filtration to reduce unnecessary exposure to both patients and staff

This combination supports facilities working to align with ALARA principles and modern dose safety standards, especially in high-volume environments where cumulative exposure matters.

Workflow-Focused Design for Faster, Smarter Imaging

EXTRON’s engineering is built around how surgical teams actually work.

Key workflow enhancements include:

• Touchscreen operator consoles with intuitive controls
• Auto-drag collimation for quick field-of-view adjustments
• Wide C-arc movement for easier positioning
• Smart memory presets that reduce setup time and repositioning during procedures

In today’s ORs—where time, staffing, and space are all constrained—these features reduce friction and allow teams to focus on care, not equipment.
