X-Ray, is  a  kind of  radiation which can  penetrate through the  human body and  project onto  a film or a detector.  It is widely used in showing foreign objects inside your body, the status of fracture, mammography and bone densitometry. X-Ray is not expensive. Although X-Ray involves radiation, the radiation dose is very low. For example, the amount of radiation dose of a chest X-Ray examination is equal to that of the cosmic radiation dose received from universe during a flight flying from Hong Kong to Japan.

Instrument

The Luminos Agile Max X-Ray system is a new generation of Digital Radiography‭ (‬DR‭) ‬integrated fluoroscopic system‭. ‬The height-adjustable table is easy and safe for positioning and transferring patients with low mobility‭. ‬Medical staff can also choose a comfortable working height‭. ‬The large 43cm x 43cm MAX dynamic flat panel detector provides 16‭ ‬percent more coverage than a conventional 33‭ ‬cm image intensifier‭, ‬reducing X-Ray exposure‭. ‬In addition‭, ‬the comprehensive CARE dose reduction program decreases radiation exposure for patients‭, ‬without compromising image quality‭. ‬The advance DR system can display the image right after the exposure without secondary processing procedures‭, ‬which means examination times can be much shortened‭.‬
