OARM and CARM cases. Results: A total of operated cases under both C ARM and O ARM were 327 (Cervical-211, Dorsal-61, Lumbar-55). Mean time O-ARM required was x hours (range 2 hours 45 minutes to 12 hours). Mean time required for C-ARM was x hours (range 1 hour 10 minutes to 9 hours). Conclusion: From the comparative study, both techniques resulted in accurate screw placement; images acquisition with the O ARM was consistently faster than with the C ARM. Additionally, radiation exposure to health care professionals (including nurses) was less with the O ARM.
