Study Notes

History of X-ray

  • Wilhelm Rontgen invented the x-ray in 1895
  • X-ray machines are classified by their movement: fixed, portable, and mobile
  • Fixed X-ray machines are typically found in teaching schools and research institutes
  • Portable X-ray machines have smaller transformers which makes them lighter and easier to move
  • Mobile X-ray machines are larger than portable machines, have a higher output, and are mounted on wheels
  • Mobile X-ray machines can produce a higher voltage (90-125kv) and higher current (40 to 300mA)
  • X-rays are used to image various body systems: skeletal, digestive, urinary, respiratory, and reproductive
