During World War I, Marie Curie – a two-time Nobel Prize-winning scientist – had an idea that not only saved lives but also revolutionized medical care. She collected X-ray machines and installed the units in ordinary vehicles that drew power from the cars’ engines. She had trained at least 150 women in the fundamentals of anatomy and radiology.
For the first time, military doctors could detect the tiniest pieces of bullets lodged in wounds, without having to transport the injured. Later on, Marie established around 200 radiological labs in battlefield hospitals. Thanks to her determination, doctors were able to save a significant number of lives.
The portable X-ray equipment underwent significant advances over the years, however, it remains a fixture of battlefield hospitals to this day.
Let us talk about how portable digital X-ray machines are used nowadays.
Mobile X-rays are equipped with wheels, therefore they can be easily moved to different locations within a healthcare facility or they can be found in mobile clinics. They are powered by batteries and they are designed to be used mainly, but not exclusively, when the planned examinations are located far from healthcare facilities.
These portable medical imaging devices use X-ray technology to allow radiologists to collect information on abnormal and normal features of different body parts.
Portable X-rays are often used to complete examinations when the patients are unable to move on their own or they are too unwell to be transported to the imaging department. For instance, chest X-rays for tuberculosis and pneumonia-related lung damages or skeletal examinations for traffic accidents and other traumas, as well as orthopedic imaging of small body parts and other specific clinical diagnostic investigations.
The main users of mobile X-rays are radiographers and medical professionals trained in radiation protection, safety, and image management.
