Thanks Lorena! Do you want to submit this as an entry for points?

Your text is correct in this case they are making reference to the apparatus. And yes you are correct too it is a C-arm fluoroscope

I have found three typos in various spots in the original Spanish in this article so I am also wondering if they really meant "una fluoroscopia en arco." To me I think they are referring a fluoroscope as well.

If so, then it is probably a "C-arm fluoroscope"!

FLUOROSCOPIA
FLUOROSCOPIA CONVENCIONAL:
Desde que Tomás Edison inventó el fluoroscopio en 1896, este ha sido una herramienta muy valiosa en la práctica de la radiología. El fluoroscopio se utiliza para estudios dinámicos. Durante la fluoroscopia, el radiólogo observa una imagen continua del movimiento de las de las estructuras internas mientras el tubo de rayos x proporciona la energía.
