The mini C-arm image intensifier (mini C-arm) has now become an established diagnostic tool in the hand surgery outpatient department. This study reviews the use of the mini C-arm and formal radiographs (X-rays) in the outpatient hand surgery setting. X-rays provide a standard image whereas the mini C-arm can obtain non-standard images to aid diagnosis and treatment. The mini C-arm enables the clinician to obtain dynamic images and perform interventions such as manipulations or injections. The mini C-arm results in a significantly lower radiation exposure for the patients than a formal X-ray. Use of the mini C-arm may be cheaper, and can lead to a shorter outpatient visit with less travel between hospital departments.
微型 C 臂影像增强器（微型 C 臂）现已成为手外科门诊的一种既定诊断工具。本研究回顾了在门诊手外科环境中使用微型 C 臂和正式 X 光片（X 光）的情况。X 光片提供标准图像，而微型 C 臂可以获取辅助诊断和治疗的非标准图像。微型 C 臂使临床医生能够获得动态图像并进行操作或注射等干预。微型 C 臂使患者的辐射暴露量明显低于正式 X 光。微型 C 臂的使用可能更便宜，并可导致门诊就诊时间更短，医院科室之间的旅行次数更少。
