Essentially, a portable X-ray machine is an X-ray unit that’s smaller than a fixed one and can be moved. It allows radiographers, vets and dental professionals to take X-ray images of patients without having to call them into a special lead-lined room.
The principle is still the same, whereby it emits X-rays through a person or animal’s body, and it’s reflected back, showing up on the image as white. Having a portable medical X-ray machine comes with a lot of benefits – including:
- Greater mobility and portability
- Better speed
- Safer operation
- Cost-effective
- Improved patient care quality
