Mobile X-ray (IME-100L) Toshiba

Mobile X-ray unit are moved around hospitals all the time to perform radiography on patients who cannot easily get to an X-ray room. What makes a system environment-friendly and easy-to-use? To address these issues, Toshiba has kept the basics in mind, while advancing the development of motor-driven, high-performance systems. Now, Toshiba has the answer in the IME-100L.

• Wheel-guided motion
  Large wheels and wheel-guided motion allow operators to overcome floor gradients with less manual force.
• Wheel step
  This step is easy to tread on, and has sufficient clearance above the floor. The safety design eliminates the risk of a foot being caught between the step and the floor, even in the wheel-guided setting.
• Bumper
  A bumper the same width as the cart is provided at the front of the equipment, to alleviate the shock caused by possible collisions.
• Corner guide
  This allows you to confirm the position of the bumpers while the equipment is in motion, and helps in navigating narrow spaces.
• Deadman-type brake
  A deadman-type brake is employed. If the handle is released, the brake will be applied automatically. A slight handle movement causes deceleration while in motion.
• Brake elimination
  You can choose a brake-free condition. Thus, you can easily position the equipment while moving the main assembly.
• Pantograph-type arm
  A well-balanced, lock-free arm is employed. It eliminates time-consuming arm lock procedures for positioning, ensuring more speedy positioning.
• Handgrips
  These allow you to swivel and rotate the X-ray tube with less manual force.
• Vertical rotation of X-ray tube
  The X-ray tube can be rotated vertically by ±90º, and easily positioned for lateral-view radiography.
• Swiveling of the X-ray tube
  The X-ray tube assembly can be swiveled forward by -15º through +90º. Handgrip manipulation maintains the orientation of the X-ray port irrespective of the height of the arm.
• Large wheels
  Large 40-cm diameter wheels are employed. These are combined with free-castor-type front wheels to ensure quietness and ease of movement.
