Whale Imaging’s G-Arm B6 Duo, which provides high resolution images using small doses of radiation, has received FDA 510(k) clearance.

This imaging system has axial tilt and is compatible with surgical tables. One of the main features is its ability to fire two x-ray beams asynchronously that gives out bi-lateral video and images.

"We feel that getting the B6 Duo into our customer's OR will really revolutionize surgical imaging for orthopedic, spine and neuro surgeons as well as pain practitioners,” said Laurence Heron, SVP of Sales and Marketing at Whale Imaging.

With more diverse features than a traditional C-Arm, Phil Posa, VP of the G-Arm Division notes that they expect to see a growth in this technology.

"Within a few years, we expect the B6 Duo to be a common fixture in orthopedics and spine departments across the US," said Posa.
