Portable X-ray Machines
Portable X-ray Machines
X-ray machines designed for easy transportation and use in various locations. They feature compact transformers and are typically used in clinical settings.
Fixed X-ray Machines
Fixed X-ray Machines
Fixed X-ray machines require large, specialized transformers and permanent installation, making them suitable for research and teaching.
Mobile X-ray Machines
Mobile X-ray Machines
X-ray machines mounted on wheels for easy movement within a medical facility. They are typically used for imaging patients who cannot easily be transported to a fixed X-ray room.

Study Notes
Fixed X-Ray Machines
- Fixed X-ray machines require large, room-sized transformers connected to dedicated electrical lines.
- High cost limits use to educational institutions and research facilities.
Portable X-Ray Machines
- Portable units use smaller, lighter transformers.
- Easier to operate, with intuitive design.
- Data transfer to laptops for immediate transmission to medical facilities.
- Reduced time and cost compared to traditional methods.
- Output ranges from 70-110 kV and 15-35 mA.
Mobile X-Ray Machines
- Mobile X-ray machines have larger transformers and higher output.
- Offer a higher output range (90-125 kV and 40-300 mA).
- Mounted on wheels for mobility within radiology departments.
- Operable from standard 13-15 A outlets.
- Easily moved on level surfaces.
