Mobile Radiograpgy

identify a particular X-ray imaging
system (e.g. manufacturer A €“ model YYY mobile X-ray machine) through different
manufacturers’ websites (some examples are given below) and develop a safe
operation guide for it. The identified system must be within the ranges of systems for
portable / mobile radiography, tomography, fluoroscopy, mammography and
angiography. The main function of this guide is to educate practitioners the safe
operation principles of a particular system. The following is the list of suggested
contents of Option 2.
1. Introduction
€¢Provide relevant details (e.g. manufacturer, model, type, etc.) of the chosen
system (only one is required)
€¢Suggest necessity of a safe operation guide for the chosen system
€¢N.B.: You can obtain relevant details of an imaging system from its manufacturer’s
website, for example:
?Carestream Health (http://www.carestreamhealth.com)
?Fujifilm Corporation (http://www.fujifilm.com/products/medical/)
?GE Healthcare (www.gehealthcare.com)
?Gendex Dental Systems (http://www.gendex.com)
?Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V. (http://medical.philips.com)
?Siemens AG. (http://www.medical.siemens.com)
?Toshiba Corporation (http://www.medical.toshiba.com)
2. Safe Operation Details
€¢Provide necessary radiation protection measures in relation to the features of the
chosen system
€¢Provide necessary measures for safeguarding electromechanical safety in relation
to the features of the chosen system
€¢Provide necessary ways to maximise clinical utilisation in relation to the features
of the chosen system
€¢Provide necessary QA tasks for the chosen system
€¢N.B.: Justification of responses is required for the safe operation details
3. Summary
€¢Summarize the key points of the safe operation details
