GE OEC 9900 Elite Features

The GE OEC 9900 Elite C-arm offers improved image quality and monitoring. The 9900 Elite can perform DSA (Digital Subtraction Angiography) while either moving the c-arm or the patient. The c-arm has an easy-to-use interface and a deeper arch to allow for better access to the patient for specific procedures like cardiovascular and pain management. The GE system applies algorithms and a variety of different bandwidths that are preprogrammed - this can provide improved accuracy and definition to the images. The GE 9900 Elite comes with a dual flat panel and touchscreen monitor. This makes it easier to maneuver the monitor to comfortably view the c-arm images from any angle.
