Hologic Fluoroscan Premier Encore Mini C‑Arm

The Hologic Fluoroscan Premier Encore is a portable extremity mini C-arm built around a high-sensitivity dual 6/4-inch cesium iodide (CsI) image intensifier, delivering sharp fluoroscopic detail across a wide range of hand, wrist, foot, ankle, knee, and shoulder procedures. The system’s iso-centered, counterbalanced C-arm rotates a full 360 degrees and settles into position smoothly, supporting precise positioning without disrupting patient comfort. Built-in image processing tools including contrast expansion, automatic edge enhancement, and last image hold reduce the need for repeat exposures and keep procedures moving efficiently. For practices that own a Premier Encore or need a certified-refurbished replacement unit, Minicarm.com is the primary independent source for parts, service, and refurbished systems.

Minicarm.com provides certified-refurbished Hologic Fluoroscan Premier Encore units, OEM parts, and nationwide on-site service from factory-trained technicians.

Available for sale, lease, or rent nationwide.

Key Features and Benefits of the Hologic Fluoroscan Premier Encore

Feature

Benefit

Feature

Dual 6/4-Inch CsI Image Intensifier

Benefit

Cesium iodide (CsI) image intensifiers convert X-ray photons more efficiently than standard sodium iodide tubes, producing brighter output from lower radiation input. The switchable 6-inch and 4-inch fields of view let clinicians move between broader anatomy assessment and fine structural detail without changing equipment.

Feature

360-Degree Iso-Centered C-Arm Rotation

Benefit

The iso-centered, counterbalanced C-arm rotates a full 360 degrees and settles into position without drift. Iso-centering keeps the anatomy of interest stationary at the center of the imaging field as the C-arm rotates, eliminating the repositioning that non-iso-centered systems require between fluoroscopic views.

Feature

Automatic Edge Enhancement

Benefit

On-board processing sharpens soft-tissue boundaries and hardware margins in real time. Edge enhancement reduces visual ambiguity at the margins of small bones, implants, and fracture sites without requiring manual image processing after acquisition.

Feature

Contrast Expansion

Benefit

Contrast expansion stretches the available gray-scale range across the captured image, improving differentiation between adjacent tissue densities. For extremity procedures where bone cortex, soft tissue, and hardware occupy a narrow density window, this feature pulls out detail that standard imaging compresses.

Feature

Last Image Hold

Benefit

The system retains the most recent fluoroscopic frame on screen after the foot pedal is released, allowing the clinical team to review the exposure without an additional radiation event. Particularly useful during hardware placement confirmation and closed reduction checks.

Feature

High-Speed Mode

Benefit

High-speed acquisition mode supports dynamic fluoroscopic imaging when real-time motion capture is needed, such as during joint manipulation, tendon repair, or dynamic instability evaluation.

Feature

15-Inch Dual Monitors (SVGA Portrait Mode)

Benefit

Dual 15-inch monitors in SVGA Portrait Mode display the live fluoroscopic image alongside a held reference image simultaneously. Clinicians compare current and prior views side by side without toggling between screens, supporting faster intraoperative decisions.

Clinical Applications for the Hologic Fluoroscan Premier Encore

The Hologic Fluoroscan Premier Encore is suited for outpatient orthopedic offices, ambulatory surgery centers, and emergency departments performing extremity fluoroscopy at the point of care. Common applications include:

  • Hand and wrist procedures: fracture reduction, hardware placement confirmation, and carpal instability evaluation
  • Foot and ankle surgery: bunion correction, hammertoe repair, and plate and screw positioning
  • Knee and lower extremity imaging: ligament repair guidance, hardware assessment, and post-operative alignment confirmation
  • Shoulder procedures: acromioclavicular imaging, hardware placement, and reduction confirmation
  • Orthopedic offices: in-office extremity fluoroscopy for fracture management without a radiology referral
  • Emergency departments: closed reduction confirmation and foreign-body localization at the bedside
  • Ambulatory surgery centers: compact procedure room imaging without a dedicated fixed fluoroscopy suite
