The invention relates to a C-arm X-
ray machine. The C-arm X-
ray machine comprises a main frame and a C-type rack, the main frame and the C-type rack are mutually connected through a shaft body, the C-type rack can rotate relative to the main frame, the C-type rack comprises an arm body, an X-
ray generating end and an X-ray receiving end, the X-ray generating end is provided with an X-ray generator and a first 
metal protective cover, the X-ray receiving end is provided with an X-ray 
image intensifier and a second 
metal protective cover, the arm body is provided with a 
metal protective sleeve, the X-ray generator is located in the first metal protective cover and is tightly fitted with the first metal protective cover, the X-ray 
image intensifier is located in the second metal protective cover and is tightly fitted with the second metal protective cover, and the first metal protective cover faces to an X-ray emission hole in one surface of the X-ray receiving end. The C-arm X-ray 
machine is reasonable in structural design, effectively stops 
diffusion of 
ionizing radiation of an X-ray, reduces scattered rays produced by 
irradiation of the X-ray on a 
boundary region of an object, and reduces damages to a 
human body.
