Medical Radiographic X-Ray Apparatus Set

A Medical Radiographic X-Ray Apparatus Set is a type of equipment used in medical, dental, and veterinary settings for capturing X-ray images of patients. It is part of the supply class Imaging Equipment And Supplies: Medical, Dental, Veterinary, which falls under the supply group Medical, Dental, And Veterinary Equipment And Supplies.

This apparatus set typically includes the following components:

1. X-ray generator: This is the main unit that produces X-rays for imaging purposes. It consists of a high-voltage power supply, X-ray tube, and control panel.

2. X-ray tube: The X-ray tube is the component that generates X-rays when high voltage is applied. It consists of a cathode and an anode, which produce the X-ray beam.

3. Collimator: A collimator is used to control the size and shape of the X-ray beam. It helps to focus the X-rays on the specific area of interest and reduce unnecessary radiation exposure.

4. Image receptor: This is the device that captures the X-ray image. It can be a film cassette, image intensifier, or digital detector, depending on the type of X-ray system.

5. Positioning devices: These are tools used to position the patient correctly for the X-ray examination. They may include adjustable tables, immobilization devices, and alignment aids.

6. Control panel: The control panel allows the operator to adjust various parameters of the X-ray system, such as exposure time, tube current, and voltage.

7. Radiation shielding: X-ray apparatus sets often include radiation shielding materials, such as lead aprons and protective barriers, to ensure the safety of patients and operators.

These sets are essential for diagnostic imaging in medical, dental, and veterinary practices. They enable healthcare professionals to visualize internal structures and diagnose various conditions or injuries.
