For situations in which a patient cannot be moved, or imaging capability is needed by a mobile medical or veterinary facility with limited space and resources, mobile x-ray machines provide an excellent solution.
History
You may be surprised to learn that mobile x-ray machines have been around almost as long as x-ray equipment itself. What is even more interesting is that neither the stationary x-ray machine nor its portable counterpart were developed by medical scientists. X-rays were first discovered in 1895 by a German physicist named Wilhelm Röntgen, who was experimenting with cathode rays. The first portable x-ray machine was an American innovation, developed by a building engineer just after the First World War.
These early portable x-rays were nonetheless heavy and difficult to carry. Furthermore, they required portable dark room facilities.
Modern X-Ray Machines
Today’s modern portable x-ray solutions are compact and relatively lightweight (under 90 pounds). Furthermore, thanks to modern wireless technology and digital imaging techniques, x-ray images can be transmitted from and to any centralized location using DICOM 3.0 protocols. They can also be stored on the device itself, then enhanced and printed out at any clinical workstation or DICOM viewer.
Who Can Benefit
In addition to mobile clinics, veterinarians in rural areas who specialize in the care of livestock and large animals will find that mobile x-ray equipment can make the job easier. Military services such as MASH units and medical facilities aboard smaller Naval vessels will also benefit from having portable x-ray units.
In addition to medical applications, portable x-ray machines have found uses by law enforcement agencies. They have been successfully used to detect hidden explosives, concealed weapons and general contraband.
Medical and law enforcement professionals will find a number of different models and configurations from which to choose when it comes to portable x-ray machinery.
