  • Patent number: 10799201
    Abstract: A C-arm X-ray imaging system is provided. The C-arm X-ray imaging system includes a base, an extension arm, a first monitor coupled to the base via a first end of the extension arm, a support, and a second monitor coupled to the base via the support. The first end of the extension arm and the support are vertically aligned and configured to rotate about a common rotational axis to enable independent rotation of the first and second monitors.

  • Patent number: 10485499
    Abstract: Various methods and systems are provided for an integrated arm of an imaging device. In one example, an imaging system may comprise: a base unit; a C-arm coupled to the base unit and including an x-ray source and detector positioned on opposite ends of a C-shaped portion of the C-arm; and a display monitor attached to the C-arm via an integrated arm, wherein the display monitor is movable between a first position on a first side of the C-arm, to a second position on a second side of the C-arm by traveling over a top of an upper half of the C-shaped portion. In this way, the integrated arm may provide a simplified means of orienting the display monitor while promoting better performance of the imaging system.
