X-RAY MACHINES:
X-ray machines are categorized by structure (fixed or portable) and imaging technology (digital or analogue), with common types including general radiography (DR/CR), portable/mobile units, fluoroscopy systems, CT scanners, and mammography machines. These tools provide diagnostic images of bones, organs, and tissues for medical, dental, and security applications.
• Fixed (Conventional) X-ray Systems
Permanently installed in exam rooms, used for high-volume imaging of chest, bones, and joints.
• Digital Radiography (DR): A modern, fast system that converts X-rays directly into digital images on a monitor, reducing radiation dose.
• Computed Radiography (CR): Uses phosphor imaging plates instead of film, which are processed digitally, making it a cost-effective alternative to DR.
• Portable/Mobile X-ray Machines: Lightweight units used in ICU, emergency rooms, or at the bedside for patients who cannot travel to the radiology department.
• C-Arm Fluoroscopy Systems: Mobile or fixed machines used in operating rooms for real-time, live imaging during surgeries (orthopedic, cardiovascular).
• Computed Tomography (CT) Scanners: Combines rotating X-ray sources with computers to create 3D cross-sectional images ("slices") of the body.
• Mammography Machines: Specialized low-dose X-ray machines designed for detailed imaging of breast tissue to detect cancer.
Special Purpose X-ray Systems
• Dental X-ray Machines: Tailored for oral health, including intraoral and extraoral imaging.
• Angiography Systems (DSA): Specialized for visualizing blood vessels (arteries and veins) to diagnose blockages, often for interventional procedures.
• DEXA (Bone Densitometer): Measures bone mineral density to diagnose osteoporosis.
Key Technology Features
• DR Detectors: Flat panel detectors (FPDs) are now common, providing high-sensitivity, immediate images that can be wireless or wired.
• Imaging Techniques: Includes digital subtraction angiography (DSA) for clearer vascular imaging.
• Image Processing: Modern systems focus on lower radiation doses and higher resolution images.
