X-Ray Machine

• What is X-Ray Machine ?

An X-ray machine is any machine that involves X-

rays. It may consist of an X-ray generator and an X-
ray detector.
 Who Made The First X-Ray Machine ?
• The old machine was
originally built in 1896 by two
scientists in Maastricht, the
Netherlands, just weeks after
German physicist Wilhelm
Conrad Röntgen reported his
discovery of X-rays – an
achievement that won him the
first-ever Nobel Prize in physics
and sparked a rash of copycat
experiments.

• How do X-ray machines work?

An X-ray is produced when a negatively charged

electrode is heated by electricity and electrons are
released, thereby producing energy. That energy is
directed toward a metal plate, or anode, at high
velocity and an X-ray is produced when the
energy collides with the atoms in the metal plate.
 Why is an X-ray performed?
• Standard X-rays are performed for
many reasons, including diagnosing
tumors or bone injuries. X-rays are
made by using external radiation to
produce images of the body, its organs,
and other internal structures for
diagnostic purposes.

• What are the 3 types of X-ray machines?
• X-ray machines come in a variety of styles, and each one has its
separate strengths. The number of options is staggering so, to
make the selection process more approachable, we'll break it down
into three general categories: portables, floor-mounted, and
ceiling-mounted.
 Portable X-Ray Machine
• Portable X-ray has been an useful tool for
the diagnosis and monitoring of patients
in the intensive care units, in nursing
homes, in prisons, or in shelters for the
homeless, where transfer to the hospital
radiology department may be an obstacle.
 Floor Mounted X-Ray Machine
• The Floor Mounted Digital
Radiography System captures
high-resolution images in
seconds. Combined with Ultra, the
state-of-the art Konica Minolta
imaging software, the end result is
detailed bone and soft-tissue
visualization for a complete
diagnostic picture from a single
exposure
 Ceiling Mounted X- Ray Machine
• A ceiling-mounted X-ray system comes
with higher costs for the equipment,
service, installation, and potential
construction, but is a one-stop shop for
any X-ray study you might need, no
matter the patient. Options for manual or
fully-automated systems are available
based on a facility's specific needs in
volume and study type.
