The GE AMX II 60Hz X-ray scanner is a portable, battery-operated radiographic system designed for diagnostic imaging, particularly in settings where mobility and convenience are essential. This system, produced by General Electric (GE), is commonly used in hospitals, emergency rooms, intensive care units, and other medical facilities where patients cannot easily be moved to a dedicated X-ray room.
Key Features and Functions:
Portability: The GE AMX II is known for its mobility, allowing it to be easily transported to a patient’s bedside. This makes it ideal for imaging in emergency situations, in operating rooms, or with bedridden patients.
Battery-Operated: The unit is powered by a rechargeable battery, which enables it to perform multiple X-ray exposures on a single charge. This feature is particularly valuable in areas where access to power outlets may be limited.
60Hz Frequency: The 60Hz specification refers to the frequency of the electrical system that powers the X-ray generator, compatible with standard electrical systems in regions that use a 60Hz frequency, such as North America.
Versatile Imaging Capabilities: The AMX II is designed to produce high-quality radiographic images across various body parts, including the chest, abdomen, and extremities. It is equipped with adjustable exposure settings to accommodate different types of diagnostic imaging needs.
Ease of Use: The system features intuitive controls and a straightforward user interface, making it relatively easy for radiologic technologists to operate. Its compact design allows for maneuverability in tight spaces, such as crowded hospital rooms.
Durability: Built for use in a wide range of environments, the AMX II is known for its durability and reliability, which are essential in busy clinical settings.
Applications:
- Emergency and Critical Care: Used for patients in critical condition who cannot be transported to a stationary X-ray room.
- Orthopedic Imaging: Ideal for imaging bones and joints, especially in settings like operating rooms or trauma units.
- Respiratory Diagnostics: Commonly used for chest X-rays to diagnose respiratory conditions such as pneumonia or other lung pathologies.
