Explanation:
l'ampli is very probably "l'amplificateur de brillance" which is an image intensifier (C-arm)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X-ray_image_intensifier
"à l'ampli" I think means "using the image intensifier" rather than "on" it.

BTW I read "controler sa position" as "check its position".
>> You can't check its position using the image intensifier.
Anyway, that's what I make of it with the meagre context :-)
