Dear MEL Topic Readers,
How portable X-ray machines are helping remote patients
Medical X-rays penetrate issues and create detailed images of the
internal structures of the body. They are widely used in the medical field for
diagnostic purposes, such as visualizing bones and joints, detecting fractures,
identifying infections, and locating foreign objects. Since conventional X-ray
machines are huge and heavy, and fixed in dedicated environments to minimize
radiation exposure. But there are people in remote areas who don’t have easy access
to hospitals. Also, there are wounded people in battlefields, traffic accidents,
or disaster zones who need to be diagnosed on the site ASAP. For such situations,
portable X-ray machines are of great help. Nowadays, there are ultra-portable hand-held
X-ray machines that weigh just 3.5 kilograms and can be carried by one person.
They are equipped with AI software that processes the images quickly and
accurately like the ones in hospitals. When portable X-ray machines become even
more portable and affordable, better screening, particularly for TBs, field
diagnosis, and first-aid will be implemented.
