Orthopedic Full-Workflow Solution: Creating a Complete Diagnostic & Treatment Closed Loop
The ultimate value of imaging technology lies in solving clinical problems. Orthopedic diagnosis and treatment have long faced three challenges: cumbersome preoperative imaging, insufficiently efficient intraoperative guidance, and a lack of continuity in postoperative outcome assessment. Addressing these core challenges, Carestream Health showcased its Orthopedic Full-Workflow Imaging Solution. Through deep synergy between the Dyna-C series mobile C-arm and the DRX-LC long-length detector, this solution precisely tackles clinical pain points, establishing a complete closed loop for orthopedic care.
During preoperative assessment and postoperative review, the DRX-LC long-length detector offers unique technical advantages. A single exposure captures full spine and lower extremity images, greatly simplifying procedures and significantly reducing patient radiation dose. Moreover, examination time is reduced from over ten seconds to less than one second, effectively lessening patient burden and anxiety. For intraoperative guidance in orthopedics, spine, and trauma surgeries, the Dyna-C series mobile C-arm delivers exceptional flexibility and high-definition imaging. Featuring a compact, integrated body design, it is small and agile, easily adapting to limited space in various operating rooms. Equipped with an ultra-high-definition dynamic imaging chain, it provides high-resolution real-time intraoperative imaging, clearly visualizing bone and soft tissue details to offer precise image guidance for complex procedures. The iCARE intelligent integrated dose management platform maximizes radiation safety for both surgical staff and patients while maintaining image quality.

The "Smart Origin" Intelligent Intraoperative Imaging Platform: Redefining the Surgical View
Leveraging its deep technological expertise in medical imaging, Carestream Health also launched the "Smart Origin" intelligent intraoperative imaging platform upgrade plan at CAME. This platform aims to transform mobile C-arms from "image acquisition tools" into "intelligent decision-support systems," driving a new generation of innovation and evolution in intraoperative imaging. The upgrade is realized through two core dimensions: First, a fundamental overhaul of the imaging chain. Utilizing a smart imaging engine and a new CMOS flat-panel detector ensures clearer, more stable images under low-dose conditions. Second, an intelligent leap in the application layer. Technologies such as long-image stitching, smart needle guidance, and the fusion of virtual paths with real-time images provide broader coverage and more intuitive intraoperative navigation information, critically enabling precision and minimally invasive orthopedics, spine, and trauma surgeries. The entire Dyna-C series mobile C-arm line will be equipped with this platform, propelling mobile C-arms from traditional imaging devices to intelligent intraoperative decision-support platforms, further unlocking the synergistic value of smart technology and hardware.

Flat-Panel Detector Portfolio: Pushing the Boundaries of High-Definition Detection Performance
High-quality development in medical imaging relies fundamentally on core component technology. As the "heart" of imaging systems, flat-panel detector performance directly dictates image quality and clinical application breadth.
From first defining wireless imaging standards to continuously pushing the boundaries of materials and processes, Carestream flat-panel detectors remain at the forefront of technological innovation, leading the evolution and standardization of the industry. The detectors showcased at the conference provide core support for radiography equipment across all levels of medical institutions, renowned for their reliable quality, excellent compatibility, and stable imaging performance.
The Focus HD series detectors are rugged and durable, with a weight capacity exceeding 300 kg, effectively preventing damage from compression and making them ideal for weight-bearing exams. The DRX Plus 2530C focuses on dose-sensitive scenarios like pediatrics; its small size and high resolution allow easy integration into special environments such as neonatal incubators, balancing imaging accuracy with radiation safety. The DRX-Plus series detectors feature IEC IP57-rated dust and water resistance, readily adapting to harsh conditions.
From hardware quality to environmental adaptability, the Carestream flat-panel detector portfolio comprehensively demonstrates its reliable core attributes, providing stable support for imaging diagnosis and treatment across all clinical scenarios.
Currently, China's high-end medical imaging industry is at a critical juncture, transitioning from "import dependence" to "domestic self-reliance." As a member of Midea Medical, Carestream Health's presence at CAME 2026 fully demonstrates its deep technological foundation and sustained innovation strength in the high-end imaging field. Looking ahead, Carestream Health will continue to focus on local smart manufacturing, address core clinical needs, and leverage more Chinese-developed innovative solutions to empower global healthcare. The goal is to ensure that high-end imaging technology truly benefits every patient and empowers every medical institution, contributing to the high-quality development of China's medical industry.
