    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.
