Hologic InSight 1 Mini C-Arm

Hologic InSight 1 Mini C-Arm

Hologic InSight 1 Mini C‑Arm

The Hologic Fluoroscan InSight 1 is one of the rarest mini C-arms still in clinical service. Manufactured for approximately one year in 2006, only a small number of InSight 1 units were produced before Hologic replaced the platform with the InSight 2. The system is fully digital on a Windows XP platform and delivers extremity imaging through a dual 6/4-inch image intensifier with a touchscreen monitor, last image hold, DICOM export, and a built-in thermal printer. For practices that own an InSight 1 and need certified service, OEM parts, or a refurbished replacement unit, Minicarm.com is the primary independent source.

Minicarm.com provides certified-refurbished Hologic InSight 1 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 InSight 1

Feature

Benefit

Feature

Dual 6/4-Inch Image Intensifier

Benefit

Switchable 6-inch and 4-inch field of view from a single system. The 6-inch field covers broader anatomy for initial assessment; the 4-inch field narrows to smaller structures for detail confirmation. Practices cover a range of extremity cases without changing equipment.

Feature

Fully Digital Imaging Platform

Benefit

All images are captured, stored, and processed digitally from acquisition through export. No film, no chemical processing, and no analog conversion delays between imaging and review.

Feature

Touchscreen Monitor

Benefit

System controls are accessible directly from the monitor surface. Touchscreen navigation reduces reliance on a separate keyboard and supports faster case setup at the point of care.

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.

Feature

DICOM Export

Benefit

Native DICOM export to PACS, USB, and network targets. Studies transfer from the procedure room to the imaging record without manual file handling or secondary upload steps.

Feature

Built-In Thermal Printer

Benefit

On-board thermal printer produces hard-copy images immediately after acquisition, supporting documentation in settings without networked PACS or for immediate patient record copies at the point of care.

Feature

Compact, Single-Operator Design

Benefit

Lightweight construction with single-operator maneuverability supports placement in exam rooms, surgery centers, and outpatient procedure spaces without a fixed imaging suite or a second staff member for transport.

Clinical Applications for the Hologic InSight 1

The Hologic InSight 1 is suited for practices that have the system in service or need a rare certified-refurbished replacement unit. Common applications include:

  • Hand and wrist imaging: fracture evaluation, hardware placement, and closed reduction confirmation
  • Foot and ankle procedures: bunion correction, hammertoe repair, and plate and screw placement
  • Orthopedic offices: in-office extremity fluoroscopy without a radiology referral
  • Emergency departments: closed reduction confirmation and foreign-body localization
  • Sports medicine clinics: same-day diagnostic imaging at the point of care
  • Ambulatory surgery centers: extremity cases requiring fluoroscopy in a compact procedure room
