One of the most elementary tests that doctors prescribe for the initial patient is X-Ray. A few uncomfortable minutes with a bulky traditional X-Ray machine. But with the help of technology from some recent medical industries, even these machines have become sleeker.
The X-Ray systems currently available in the Developing countries market are low powered, bulky and employ very old 2 pulse technology. The conventional X-ray system cost varies from $2000 to $10,000, but compromises on technology, quality and radiation dose. The nest level – Fully Digital X-Ray systems offer the most enhanced imaging solutions and are too expensive. The high investment prevented its usage in the developing countries. But now High Frequency X-ray machines are available at a very affordable prices; less than $20,000.
High Frequency X-rays, with its digital console makes superior quality imaging affordable for small diagnostic centers and hospitals. It provides an excellent upgrade platform from the old X-Ray technology to the latest technology and to an elegant X-Ray room.
The High Frequency X-ray,s provides superior images at low exposure surpassing conventional X-Rays every time. The system creates a safer imaging environment by reducing exposure time by over 20%+, lowering radiation dose by 25% and eliminating soft radiation compared to conventional X-Rays.
Some of the Radiologists have thrown their views upon this High Frequency X-rays.
1> “We have been using the HF Advantage system ad the 4 way floating table as the primary X-Ray system in our 365 days, 24 hour department for the past two and half years. We have performed more than 100,000 x-Ray exams using this system. “What we have observed is that the unit is robust and gives a steady high quality output. The radiographic quality is consistently good. There is good uniformity across the image. The exposure factors, which are required, are 20%+ lower than that required by the 2-pulse conventional generator. The fast and quick interface helps us in increasing our patient throughput”
2> “At the heart if the High Frequency is a futuristic X-Ray generator that has already made waves in imaging technology. We found that all types of patient examinations can be performed with adequate throughput. There is an increasing ability to do radiography for pediatric patients and trauma patients, where because of potential movement a short exposure time is required and easily achieved.”
“Since receiving the HF Advantage 1 year back for clinical use at my centre, We have performed over 1500 X-Rays. HF Advantage provides 30Kw output and radiography, which is the standard in all developed countries. Its 400 mA capability, low exposure times and very low mAs over conventional systems ensure great reduction in patient and technologist radiation dose. Image quality is incredible, especially for pediatric, trauma and obese patients.”
The HF Advantage is an affordable, general radiographic system providing outstanding image quality and diagnostic precision with unprecedented ease of operation”
