Convenient
• Light weight, cordless, easily transportable
• No awkward arms to manipulate; no drift
• No need for special stands, cables, remotes*
• Hundreds of diagnostic quality images from a single battery charge .
Sharp, Clear Images
• Works with sensors, film, phosphor plates
• 0.4 mm focal spot produces sharp, high-resolution images
• True DC performance for improved image quality
• No blur from hand movement**
Safe
• Low patient dosage
• Internal shielding and backscatter shield protect the operator
• Studies show yearly operator exposure is equivalent to or less than exposure from a typical wall-mounted x-ray**.
