As you navigate the world of medical imaging, understanding the differences between digital radiography (DR) and computed radiography (CR) systems becomes crucial for your practice.
When providing top-notch care for our beloved animal companions, selecting the most suitable X-ray equipment for your veterinary practice is paramount.
First, what is a detector? Operators use digital radiography detectors to obtain X-ray images in place of plain film or computed radiography systems. They also utilize detectors instead of image intensifier systems for fluoroscopy, interventional, and mobile x-ray systems. Different classes of digital radiography detectors vary based on the physics behind image acquisition, scintillator use, and the device's readout. Here, we'll discuss the two major classes of flat panel detectors, what makes them unique, and average costs.
Inside every CT system is an X-ray tube that is vital to its operation. X-ray tubes are a reliable and cost-effective way of producing X-rays for various healthcare applications. Likewise, X-ray tubes can provide many years of service when properly operated and maintained. But without the proper care, you may drastically shorten the X-ray tube's lifespan. In this article, we will discuss the best ways to maintain an X-ray tube to prolong its lifespan.
Over the past 100 years, medical imaging has become vital to almost every medical practice. Radiological equipment such as the X-ray machine provides a low-risk way for healthcare providers to deliver fast and accurate diagnoses for treatment guidance. X-ray machines can last for many years, but it's essential to have a properly functioning and technologically up-to-date machine to obtain accurate images in your practice. In this article, we will explore the lifespan of an X-ray machine, how to spot issues with your machine, ways to prolong your machine's lifespan, and when it might be time to invest in a new one.
Let's start with a little history lesson.
At Maven Imaging, we’re in the business of x-rays. This unique technology has existed for over a hundred years and has gone through many changes throughout the years.
