The steps of buying Medical X-Ray machine


      X-ray machine is widely used and very important in hospital. Doctors need to diagnose as effectively by imaging
equipment. It is quite an investment, so some medical offices have their own and others share it. Either way, you need
 to buy quality X-ray machine that will meet the needs of the staff and patients. Read on to learn more about how to buy 
medical X-ray machine.

Step 1 
   Decide what is your office's needs. To make a list of what you need before even talking to a company, whether it's 
X-Ray film, caution signs, storage boxes or the X-Ray machines themselves. To get some more information about  
mobile x ray machineremove control X-ray unit or digital x ray machine as they are latest medical X-ray technology

X-Ray Exams of the Digestive Tract(3)


      Then we continue to introduce some knowledge that is necessary to know when you have got an exam by x ray machine.
 

      Firstly , you may ask, are there GI test safe?
 

      There is virtually no risk with the upper and lower GI tests, unless they are repeated several times within a few months' time, when radiation exposure can become a risk. Although radiation exposure is minimal, it is greater than for standard still X-rays. Steps will be taken during the test to minimize radiation exposure.
 

      Other risks include: 1.Infection (very low risk with both the upper and lower GI tests). 2. Tearing the intestinal wall during a lower GI test. Should this occur, surgery may be necessary. This is a very rare complication.
And then who should not receive GI Tests?


      If you have an existing blockage or tear in the intestinal wall, the upper and lower GI tests should not be performed.If you are pregnant or think you might be pregnant, you should not have these tests unless absolutely medically necessary. Talk to your doctor about other tests that can be more safely performed to diagnose your problem during pregnancy.

X-Ray Exams of the Digestive Tract(2)


       Today , we will continue to introduce lower GI tests.


      Lower GI tests or barium enemas are used to examine the large intestine and the rectum. For this test, barium or an iodine-containing liquid is introduced gradually into the colon through a tube inserted into the rectum. As the barium passes through the lower intestines, it fills the colon, allowing the radiologist to see growths or polyps and areas that are narrowed. The fluoroscope is held over the part of the body being examined and transmits continuous images to the video monitor.

    This lower GI testing is used to detect: Colon polyps ,Tumors ,Diverticular disease ,Gastroenteritis ,Strictures or sites of narrowing and obstruction ,Ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease and other causes of abdominal pain or blood, mucus, or pus in the stool
 

      With the barium or contrast enema, the colon is filled with a contrast material containing barium or iodine-containing contrast (a liquid that lights up on X-ray) by running it through a tube inserted into the rectum. The barium blocks X-rays; therefore the colon, when filled with the agent, shows up clearly on the X-ray picture.


      The air contrast study is slightly different. The colon is first filled with some barium, and then the colon is filled with air. This technique provides a more detailed picture of the lining of the colon, improving the procedure's ability to detect small polyps or inflammation.

X-Ray Exams of the Digestive Tract(1)


    There are several commonly performed X-ray tests that allow your doctor to examine your digestive tract from the esophagus to the rectum.


      These tests utilize barium or an iodine-containing agent that allows visualization of the digestive tract and a form of X-ray machine called fluoroscopy. Fluoroscopy allows part of the body to be studied in motion and recorded on a video monitor.


      Fluoroscopic examinations of your GI tract may be performed in a doctor's office, a commercial X-ray machine, or a hospital. These tests are usually called either an "upper GI" or a barium or contrast enema or a "lower GI", depending on the organs to be studied.


      Today, we will mainly introduce Upper GI tests.


      Upper GI tests use X-rays to examine the esophagus, stomach, and first part of the small intestine (the duodenum). You could see some articles about the digestive system to learn more about these organs.


      For these tests, a person is required to drink barium. As the barium passes through the digestive tract, it fills and coats the esophagus, stomach, and first part of the small intestine making them more visible with X-ray. Then a fluoroscope machine is held over the part of the body being examined and transmits continuous images to a video monitor.

Tools for a Hematologist


  A hematologist is a medical doctor who specializes in the study of human blood. These doctors use equipment to analyze blood samples, determine white and red blood cell counts, check for the presence of cancer and analyze blood glucose levels. Blood analysis can help detect the presence of a deadly disease while it is still in its initial, treatable stages.


      Hematology Analyzer
 

      A hematology analyzer does pretty much what the name implies--it analyzes blood. More specifically, the machine processes blood samples using electronic resistance and volumetric metering to view a particular sample using a wide variety of parameters. The machine may be attached to a printer to deliver a detailed analysis of the sample's content, including red blood cell count and the presence of any protein markers that may be indicative of disease or infection.
 

      Blood Withdrawal Equipment


      A hematologist specializes in the analysis of blood so it stands to reason he may spend some time in his medical practice or place of employment drawing blood from patients. Syringes, butterfly needles and tourniquets are tools used by the hematologist to draw blood from patients for later analysis. Lancets are used to draw blood from the heel of a newborn as the veins are still developing and cannot support a needle stick.


      Photometer


      A photometer is a small electronic device used by hematologists to get quick counts on hemoglobin and hematocrit in a patient's blood. All that is needed for analysis with this device is a single drop of blood enabling a hematologist to get readings from patients that may be on blood thinners or in the midst of emergency room assessment without compromising patient health or risking contamination. The results generated by a photometer are generally available in less than a minute.


      Hematology Labs


      The tools used by hematologists in a lab setting can involve everything from microscopes and slides to autoclaves for sterilization.Blood analysis devices may be in use in the lab as well, although the majority of time is spent examining slides underneath a microscope to determine the presence of bacteria, parasites or other disease in a patient's blood.

Heart Disease and Chest X-Rays


  In diagnosing heart disease, a chest X-ray (also called chest film) uses a very small amount of radiation to produce an image of the heart, lungs, and chest bones on film.


      Your doctor uses a chest X-ray to:
      Look at the structures of the chest (bones, heart, lungs).
      Evaluate placement of devices (pacemakers, defibrillators) or tubes placed during hospitalization for treatment and monitoring (catheters, chest tubes).
      Diagnose lung and heart diseases. 


      How Should I Prepare for a Chest X-Ray?
      No special preparation is necessary for a chest X-ray, but you should tell the technician if you could be pregnant.


      What Happens During a Chest X-Ray?
      The chest X-ray can be performed at bedside or in a radiology department. You will be asked to remove all clothes and metallic jewelry from the waist up and put on a hospital gown for the test.


      If you are able, you will be asked to stand very still with your chest against the cassette that contains the film. The X-ray machine will then send a beam of ionizing radiation through an X-ray tube. This energy passes through your chest and is then absorbed on film to create a picture. Bones and other dense areas show up as lighter shades of gray while areas that don't absorb the radiation appear as dark gray.


      You will be asked to hold your breath for a few seconds to generate better images.


      Then you will be asked to do the same thing, but with your left side against the cassette and your arms elevated.


      The entire test takes no more than 10 to 15 minutes.
