Direct radiation exposure to the patient and scatter to the surgeon are minimized when the C-arm is positioned with the intensifier below and the extremity is placed directly on the intensifier. Under identical geometrical conditions with the intensifier below the specimen, the large C-arm with its greater source to image intensifier distance is associated with less radiation exposure than the mini C-arm.
