    Mobile fluoroscopic imaging is crucial in orthopedic surgery for guiding interventions and evaluating fracture reduction success.

  • 2

    Achieving correct C-arm positioning is challenging due to patient variability and the invisibility of internal anatomy, risking critical errors.

  • 3

    Current C-arm positioning relies on trial-and-error methods, leading to time consumption and increased radiation exposure for patients and staff.

  • 4

    The proposed deep learning approach predicts C-arm pose updates directly from 2D projections, enhancing efficiency without additional technical burden.

  • 5

    Training on simulated images allows for accurate pose predictions, demonstrating applicability across different anatomical regions and unseen cadaver X-rays.
