Medical resources shortage in remote areas often threatens local residents’ health, especially their dental health. However, Portable Dental X-ray Machine have changed healthcare in these regions. Its compact design allows dentists to easily bring it anywhere, from field hospitals to personal homes.
Not only does it enhance the ability of doctors to provide services to patients, but it also enables patients to receive timely and accurate oral health examinations and necessary treatments, avoiding delayed treatment.
In this article, we will learn about this machine and explore its advantages and applications.
What is a Portable Dental X-ray Machine?
The portable dental X-ray machine is a lightweight and portable medical machine specifically designed for dental disease. It usually consists of an X-ray generator and an X-ray CMOS digital sensor.
The working principle of a portable dental X-ray machine is the same as that of a digital dental X-ray machine.
X-ray generator generates X-rays that penetrate patients’ cheeks and experience varying degrees of attenuation. The attenuated X-rays are detected by the chip inside the X-ray CMOS digital sensor, generating images of the oral cavity.
Advantages of Portable X-ray Machines
As a modern medical imaging device, portable X-ray machines are important in optimizing medical diagnosis and treatment, whether in rural clinics or large hospitals.
- Mobility and Flexibility
Due to their small size and lightweight, mobile dental X-ray units can be used anywhere, such as in emergency rooms, wards, and patient homes. This greatly improves the flexibility and accessibility of medical services, expanding patients’ opportunities to access dental care.
Moreover, the convenience of not requiring installation makes it very suitable for emergencies. For instance, patients can also undergo X-ray checks in other rooms when the clinic is busy.
- Low Radiation Exposure
According to national regulations, the average effective dose of occupational radiation for 5 consecutive years is 20mSv. Compared to old-fashioned film X-ray machines, modern portable ones adopt a multi-layer radiation protection and radiation-blocking design.
For example, the radiation dose of Ray Imaging Technology’s portable X-ray machine is only 0.0007mGy/h, lower than the national standard of 0.25mGy/h.
It helps protect patients from unnecessary radiation damage and reduces the health risks that healthcare workers may face from long-term exposure to X-rays.
- Quick and Efficient Imaging
Traditional film X-ray machines require processing to obtain black-and-white images, while digital sensors can capture X-rays within seconds and obtain clearer dental images on the screen.
This fast imaging feature makes it very suitable for busy dental clinics and patients needing emergency examinations. Enable doctors to quickly diagnose and make treatment decisions.
- Cost-Effectiveness
Portable X-ray machines have significant cost-effectiveness. Firstly, its price is relatively cheap compared to fixed dental X-ray machines. Secondly, its portability allows dentists to use it anywhere without a dedicated consultation room.
Thirdly, portable X-ray machines alleviate the overcrowding situation in large medical institutions. Finally, in remote areas, portable X-ray equipment can improve the quality of medical services, potentially attracting more customers.
Uses of Portable X-ray Equipment
Portable X-ray equipment offers versatility in its applications. Their mobility allows examinations to take place anywhere needed. Their top uses include in these sectors:
- Medical Field
In emergencies, such as when a patient’s teeth suddenly break or experience severe pain, dentists can quickly use portable X-ray equipment to provide necessary diagnostic services for the injured if other patients are already in the treatment room.
Field hospitals or military medical centers often require lightweight and portable equipment to treat patients immediately.
In remote areas, clinics do not have to purchase more expensive fixed machines to diagnose patients, improving the return on investment.
- Veterinary Practices
Veterinarians rely on portable dental X-ray machine solutions for dental and orthopedic exams of large or difficult-to-transport animals on-farm or in-field.
Their portability streamlines treatment for injured wildlife in emergency field scenarios.
- Industrial Inspections
In addition to medical care, this portable X-ray machine can be used in the industrial field.
For example, testing the integrity and structural issues of materials. It can also detect internal defects, such as cracks or pores. In the food industry, X-rays can also help detect foreign objects.
- Security and Law Enforcement
Airport security and customs officials employ the portable dental X-ray machine to scan passenger baggage, cargo, or vehicles as needed.
The machine additionally aids in checking for prohibited items and other emergency response scenarios requiring timely mobile radiography.
