What are the principles of an X-ray machine?

X Ray Machine Manufacturers, Dealers, & Suppliers in India


CT, radiography, and fluoroscopy all work on the same elementary principle: An X-ray beam constructed by equipment made by X-Ray Machine Manufacturers is passed through the body where a share of the X-rays are either absorbed or dispersed by the internal structures, and the remaining X-ray outline is conveyed to a detector supplied by X-Ray Machine Suppliers (e.g., film or a computer screen) for recording or further dispensation by a computer. These examinations fluctuate in their purpose:


  • Radiography - a single picture is recorded for later assessment. Mammography is a special kind of radiography to picture the internal structures of breasts.

  • Fluoroscopy - a nonstop X-ray picture is shown on a monitor, permitting real-time monitoring of a process or passage of a contrast agent ("dye") through the body. Fluoroscopy can result in comparatively high radioactivity doses, particularly for complex interventional procedures (such as placing stents or other machines inside the body) which need fluoroscopy to be administered for a long period.

  • CT - many X-ray pictures are documented as the detector moves around the patient's body. A computer restructures all the individual pictures into cross-sectional pictures or "slices" of internal organs and tissues. A CT examination involves a higher radioactivity dose than conventional radiography because the CT picture is rebuilt from many individual X-ray prognoses.


X-ray imaging (CT, fluoroscopy, and radiography) examinations must be performed only after cautious consideration of the patient's health needs. They must be done only when the referring healthcare provider judges them to be essential to answer a medical question or to guide the treatment of a disease. The medical benefit of a medically appropriate X-ray imaging examination outweighs the small radiation risk. Though, efforts must be made to help minimize this danger.
