The Need for a mobile X-RAY device and it's advantages
Today, the Imaging Institute at Loewenstein Hospital provides its services to patients using a single stationary X-ray device, located in the radiography room. The mobile device of the hospital is no longer in use because it is outdated and cannot be integrated with the digital technology used by the Institute. The purchase of a mobile device for digital radiology (DR) will make it possible for the Institute to X-ray patients in their beds, greatly improving the patient experience. This option is especially important for patients who are instructed not to get out of bed because of their medical condition. Purchasing a mobile X-ray device would also provide backup in the event of a malfunction in the only X-ray system available at the hospital.
The mobile X-ray machine has several features that give it significant advantages:
Computerized system – The computerized digital radiology (DR) device produces high-quality images in a short time. Not having the technician spend time on developing film makes for better use of time in the radiography room. The system is also capable of storing previous images, making it possible to monitor patients’ medical history and the changes in their condition over
Wireless system – The machine operates without the need for cables to connect between its various It therefore contributes to a safer environment, free of environmental hazards, and helps reduce the areas exposed to infections.
Improved mechanics – The mechanics of the machine make it possible to rotate the X-ray tube so that the organ can be imaged from various angles, which was not possible with the previous generation of portable X-ray machines. This option helps obtain a more accurate diagnosis and contributes to improving the quality of care.
Compact system – The machine is easy to move. It takes only one hand to change its direction of motion or to rotate it 360 This feature is especially important when it is necessary to move the machine in narrow places, such as between beds and the adjacent equipment.
