Portable X-rays in events of Extreme Trauma

In times of extreme trauma, the Medical Imaging capabilities of Portable X-ray Equipment can make the difference between life and death for many patients. This machine can be wheeled directly up to a patient and perform a scan within minutes. The image preview is available seconds after exposure, allowing physicians to make diagnoses and plan out treatment strategies immediately.

With this ability, physicians can determine if they need to perform a second scan somewhere else on the body or have radiologists move on to the next patient for examination. Being able to provide medical consultations in real-time can dramatically improve the quality of care for seriously injured patients. Additionally, digital data cuts down on clerical errors when the challenge of handling image cassettes and paperwork is removed from the equation.

The market shift
According to a report from Research and Markets, the X-ray market is continuing to grow as hospitals and other health facilities look to replace older equipment with more modern modalities of medical imaging. One such rising innovation is the development of portable X-ray devices for rapid detection of injuries and conditions. This kind of technology would be ideal for diagnosing trauma patients after natural disasters, such as earthquakes and hurricanes.

Overall, the market for portable X-rays has boomed recently, as more health care settings have decided to replace older units with further advanced technology. Digital Radiography has seen a spike in market share, as an increasing number of physicians look to provide on-the-spot diagnoses to their patients. In addition, original equipment can be retrofitted with new detectors that deliver faster, better results for radiologists.

Getting the most out of Portable X-ray
In order to sustain a longer life of use for portable equipment, consider some tips provided by Health Care Business News to follow and utilize:

For one, staff should be properly trained regarding the transport and use of Portable X-rays, as simply dropping the device can lead to its needing to be replaced.
In addition, staff members should be instructed to report any malfunctions or issues quickly to ensure that specialists can provide adequate maintenance in a timely manner.
Finally, health care providers should purchase equipment from a company that is focused on building an infrastructure to extend services into the future. Without one, physicians could find their equipment becoming obsolete with no updates in sight.
