How do you choose the right X-ray machine?
- Location: fixed rooms suit radiology; mobile units suit ICU, ER and wards.
- Power: check mA and kW against the exams you do most.
- Image chain: decide on film, CR or DR before you buy.
- Licensing: plan room shielding and regulator approval early.
- Service: ask about warranty, tube cover and local engineers.
CR vs DR X-ray: which is better?
| CR (computed radiography) | DR (digital radiography) | |
|---|---|---|
| Image capture | Cassette read in a CR reader | Flat panel, image in seconds |
| Speed | A few minutes per image | Seconds |
| Upfront cost | Lower | Higher |
| Suits | Moderate workloads | Busy ICUs and ERs |
CR is a sensible step up from film. DR suits busy departments where speed matters most.
Radiation safety and licensing
X-ray equipment in Pakistan needs regulator approval and a shielded room or safe working distance. Staff should wear lead aprons and thyroid collars and carry dosimeters. Plan shielding and licensing before delivery, so the unit can start work quickly.
Mobile X-ray for ICUs
Moving ventilated or trauma patients to radiology carries risk. A mobile X-ray unit brings imaging to the bed. Pair it with CR or DR, and keep lead aprons on the cart for the team. Check that wards have power sockets where the unit charges.
Choosing lead aprons
Front aprons suit staff who face the X-ray source. Wrap-around aprons protect staff who turn during procedures. Pick 0.5 mm Pb for routine work and 0.65 mm Pb for higher doses. Add thyroid collars, and store aprons on racks.
Care and usage tips
- Run daily warm-up checks.
- Hang lead aprons; never fold them.
- Check aprons for cracks yearly.
- Book yearly service and safety checks.
Frequently asked questions
What is a mobile X-ray machine used for?
A mobile X-ray machine takes images at the patient's bed, in the ICU, ER, wards or theatre. It avoids moving unstable patients to radiology. Common exams include chest X-rays and fracture checks. Staff must follow radiation safety rules during every exposure.
Do I need a licence for an X-ray machine in Pakistan?
Yes. X-ray equipment needs approval from the national regulator, and rooms need suitable shielding. Plan licensing and room design before you buy. We can share technical documents your physicist or consultant needs for the application. Ask early, as approval takes time.
What is the difference between CR and DR?
CR uses cassettes that a reader scans into digital images. DR uses a flat panel that shows the image in seconds. DR is faster but costs more upfront. CR is a good step up from film for moderate workloads. Ask us which suits your patient numbers.
Why do staff need lead aprons?
Lead aprons block scatter radiation that bounces off the patient and room. Radiographers, dental staff and theatre teams wear them during exposures. Choose 0.5 mm Pb for routine work and 0.65 mm Pb for higher doses. Add a thyroid collar.
Do you deliver X-ray equipment across Pakistan?
Yes. We deliver across Pakistan, including Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, Rawalpindi, Faisalabad, Multan and Peshawar. Send the model and your city on WhatsApp. We confirm stock, condition, installation and delivery time with your quote. Hospital orders can include lead aprons and thyroid collars.
