An X-ray viewer (single) is a medical device used to display and examine X-ray films or other medical imaging, such as CT or MRI scans. It consists of a backlit panel that illuminates the X-ray film, allowing healthcare professionals to view the details of the images clearly. A single X-ray viewer is designed to hold and display one film at a time.
Key features of a single X-ray viewer include:
- Backlit panel: Uses LED or fluorescent lighting to provide even, bright illumination for clear viewing of X-ray films.
- Slim design: Often wall-mounted or portable, it takes up minimal space in clinics, hospitals, or radiology departments.
- Durable construction: Built for long-term use in medical environments.
- Easy film placement: Equipped with clips or a magnetic surface to hold the X-ray film securely in place.
This type of viewer is commonly used in radiology departments, operating rooms, and examination rooms to assist in diagnosing fractures, diseases, or abnormalities by providing a clear view of X-ray images.
