LONG BEACH, Calif., Nov. 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Shimadzu Medical Systems USA (SMS), a division of Shimadzu Precision Instruments, Inc. (SPI) which is fully owned by Shimadzu Corporation, Japan, is excited to announce the release of the SC15 in the United States.

Mobile C-arm systems are X-ray fluoroscopy systems mainly used for orthopedic surgery. The C-shaped arm can be freely positioned as it rotates around the patient. The ability to obtain clear fluoroscopic images in real time enables physicians to visually confirm the progress of orthopedic surgeries, supporting optimal decision-making throughout the procedure. The versatility of mobile C-arm systems, which deliver high-definition imaging for a wide range of procedures such as orthopedic surgery, pain management, and shunt contrast studies, is fueling consistent market expansion.

The SC15 features state-of-the-art FPD technology that provides high-quality fluoroscopic images, enabling physicians to clearly assess surgical progress and confirm that procedures are proceeding as planned. The large 43-inch monitor helps improve communication between surgical personnel and the touch panel console installed on the C-arm cart provides a stress-free operating experience. It helps create a comfortable and convenient operating environment and is expected to serve a wide range of applications in the growing C-arm market.
