The Floatex X-ray Unit 500mA System with Chest Stand and Standex is a high-performance radiography system designed for use in hospitals, diagnostic imaging centers, and clinics. It provides reliable, high-quality X-ray imaging for a variety of applications, including chest, skeletal, and abdominal radiography. The 500mA capacity indicates the power of the system, making it suitable for imaging large areas of the body and capturing detailed images of dense anatomical structures.
Key Features of the Floatex X-ray Unit 500mA System:
1. 500mA X-ray Generator:
- The 500mA generator provides high power, allowing for high-quality, detailed images even when imaging large or dense body areas like the chest, spine, or abdomen.
- The system’s high output power ensures faster exposure times, reducing motion artifacts and improving image clarity.
- The unit offers adjustable kVp (kilovolt peak) settings, enabling flexibility in contrast and penetration for different anatomical regions.
2. Chest Stand:
- The chest stand allows for quick and accurate positioning of the patient for upright chest X-rays. This is especially useful in chest radiography, which is one of the most common diagnostic imaging procedures.
- The stand provides support for standing or seated patients, ensuring that they are correctly positioned during the X-ray. The upright position is ideal for capturing clear images of the lungs, heart, and chest cavity.
- Adjustable height settings accommodate patients of different sizes, ensuring optimal positioning for both pediatric and adult patients.
3. Standex Table:
- The Standex table is a robust X-ray table that supports supine, prone, and lateral X-ray positioning. It is designed for patient comfort and easy positioning during various radiographic procedures.
- The table allows for manual adjustments in height and angle, facilitating quick repositioning for different types of X-ray exams, such as abdominal, skeletal, or extremity imaging.
- The floating tabletop design makes it easy to slide the patient into the desired position without unnecessary movement, reducing discomfort during imaging.
4. High-Resolution X-ray Imaging:
- The Floatex X-ray system delivers high-resolution images, which are essential for accurate diagnosis. The combination of the 500mA generator and variable kVp ensures clear, detailed imaging of bones, soft tissues, and organs.
- The system supports a wide range of X-ray techniques, such as anteroposterior (AP), posteroanterior (PA), lateral, and oblique views, allowing for versatile imaging of different body parts.
5. Digital or Analog Imaging Options:
- The Floatex X-ray Unit can be integrated with either digital radiography (DR) systems or analog film-based systems, depending on the facility’s needs.
- With digital integration, the system allows for faster image acquisition and processing, enabling near-instant viewing and analysis of X-ray images. This is ideal for facilities looking to improve workflow and reduce wait times for results.
- Analog integration supports traditional X-ray film processing, making it a flexible option for clinics that still use film-based imaging.
6. Advanced Safety Features:
- The unit comes with built-in radiation safety features, including automatic exposure control (AEC) to ensure that the patient and operator are protected from unnecessary radiation exposure.
- The system includes lead shielding and other protective measures to minimize scatter radiation, keeping the operator and staff safe during X-ray procedures.
- Automatic shutoff and other fail-safe mechanisms ensure the system operates safely under all conditions.
7. Ergonomic Design and Ease of Use:
- The intuitive control panel allows radiographers to easily adjust settings such as mA (milliamperes), kVp, and exposure time to suit the specific imaging needs of each patient.
- Simple patient positioning tools and easy-to-use features make the system user-friendly, improving workflow and reducing the need for frequent adjustments during imaging.
8. Quick Positioning and Workflow Efficiency:
- The chest stand and table combination allows for rapid positioning of patients, enabling a higher patient throughput in busy radiology departments. This is crucial in emergency or high-volume settings, such as trauma centers or outpatient clinics.
- Preset exposure settings for common exams (such as chest X-rays) ensure fast and accurate imaging, minimizing patient waiting times and improving overall efficiency.
Applications of the Floatex X-ray Unit 500mA System:
- Chest Imaging: Ideal for detailed chest X-rays, including the lungs, heart, and surrounding structures, commonly used for diagnosing conditions such as pneumonia, tuberculosis, or heart failure.
- Skeletal Imaging: Provides clear imaging of bones and joints for assessing fractures, dislocations, arthritis, and bone tumors.
- Abdominal Imaging: Used for visualizing organs and soft tissues in the abdominal cavity, helping diagnose conditions like bowel obstructions, kidney stones, or gallstones.
- Trauma Imaging: Suitable for emergency settings where fast, accurate imaging of injured patients is required to assess fractures or internal damage.
Advantages of the Floatex X-ray Unit 500mA System:
- High-power output: The 500mA generator allows for high-quality imaging of large and dense body parts, such as the chest or spine, with minimal motion blur.
- Versatility: With the combination of the chest stand and Standex table, the system is adaptable for both upright and recumbent X-rays, making it suitable for a wide range of radiographic exams.
- Efficiency: Quick patient positioning and adjustable settings improve workflow efficiency in busy radiology departments, allowing for faster imaging and shorter patient wait times.
- Flexibility: Compatible with both digital and analog systems, the unit provides flexibility for facilities transitioning to digital imaging or those that still rely on film.
