The latent image produced when a radiographic film is exposed to a beam of X-ray can be visualized and examined only after the film has been suitably processed in the dark room.

X-ray film developing tank

X-ray tube

An X-ray tube is a vacuum tube that converts electrical input power into X-rays.

X-ray film view box

A device made of lights placed behind a translucent screen and used to provide backlighting for a radiographic image.

X-Ray Control Pannel

X-Ray Control Pannel means a device which controls input power to the x-ray high-voltage generator and the x-ray tube.

X-ray portable Grid

Grids are placed between the patient and the x-ray film to reduce the scattered radiation.

X-ray filter

An X-ray filter is a material placed in front of an X-ray source in order to reduce the intensity of incident radiation.

X-ray collimator

Collimator, device for changing the diverging light or other radiation from a point source into a parallel beam.

X-ray tube housing

Housing is made up of lead to stop leakage radiation.

Positioning stand

It has the mechanism to stop the cassette holder at any point at just re-lease of lever.

X-Ray Unit

An x-ray unit is the equipment used to produce x-rays. Because of the risk of over-exposure to x-rays, the x-rays unit includes both the machine used for collecting x rays and the protective room within which the x rays are taken and develops.
