Where are viewing monitors typically located in stationary fluoroscopy systems?

Viewing monitors in stationary fluoroscopy systems are typically suspended from the ceiling for several important reasons. This positioning allows the monitors to be situated at optimal eye levels for the physician and staff, ensuring that they can easily view the images without obstructing the procedural area. By mounting them from the ceiling, space is efficiently utilized and ensures that there is a clear path for both the medical team and the patient, reducing the risk of accidents or interference during the examination. Additionally, having the monitors suspended helps to maintain a sterile environment, as they are out of reach of potential contaminants that could be present on surfaces like roller carts or tables. The ceiling-mounted design also provides flexibility in positioning, allowing the monitors to be adjusted based on the specific needs of a procedure, making it more ergonomically friendly for those involved in the examination process.
