  • Patent number: 11266366
    Abstract: Various methods and systems are provided for C-arm cable management. In one embodiment, an assembly for a C-arm imaging system comprises a cable guide configured to rotate around a rotational axis arranged at an angle to a surface of a C-shaped portion of the C-arm imaging system to which the assembly mounts, with the cable guide including a rigid elongate portion extending outward from the rotational axis and configured to enclose a portion of a cable of the C-arm imaging system. In this way, the cable guide may maintain the cable of the C-arm imaging system outside of a sterile imaging area of the C-arm imaging system.
