[Digital X-ray unit ARC-01-"OKO"]
Abstract:
Presented is a description of a new roentgenographic unit ARC-01-"OKO" designed by the "Electron" Research and Design Company Ltd. for digital roentgenography (with X-ray transparent deck) of patients in the standing, sitting and lying positions. The unit enhances the capacity of X-ray examination room and makes almost unnecessary the use of X-ray films and chemicals. According to its medicals trials, the structural elements of the thorax, lungs, mediastinum, diaphragm, skull, lower and upper extremities, vertebral column, abdominal cavity and pelvis, when examined in different projections, are reproduced by the unit with good and excellent quality both at health and disease.
