What is the purpose of the X-ray machine?

X-ray machine is a kind of equipment that produces X-rays. Its main uses are as follows:

1, for industrial use, the X-ray machine used by industrial departments for industrial inspection is usually an industrial nondestructive inspection X-ray machine, which can detect various industrial components, electronic components, internal welding of circuits, etc. It can also identify product defects, such as packaging cracks, bubbles, content defects and so on.

2, medical, medical X-ray machine is also called X-ray diagnostic equipment or medical X-ray fluoroscopy machine. This X-ray machine is widely used in medical institutions and places to provide rapid medical diagnosis for relevant units. Including:

In diagnosis, according to the absorption degree of different tissues and organs of human body, when a beam of X-rays with uniform intensity passes through, its internal structure information will present corresponding images according to the transmission level, which is conducive to timely diagnosis and early diagnosis and treatment of diseases. This is the most widely used field of X-ray machine in medicine, mainly including filming and fluoroscopy.

In terms of treatment, aiming at cancer cells with equipment that can generate high-dose X-rays leads to changes in the structure and cell activity of cancer cells, thus killing cancer cells and inhibiting their growth and spread, which provides the possibility for radiotherapy of cancer.

3. Security application: X-ray machines are widely used in security inspection of railway stations and airports. X-ray machines are used for mechanical inspection of objects. X-ray machine uses X-rays to pass through objects to obtain X-ray images, which are processed by computer and displayed on the computer screen to identify the images and evaluate the safety of objects.

Extended data:

According to different classification principles, X-ray machines (X-ray equipment) have many classification methods.

1. According to different image forms, it can be divided into perspective X-ray equipment, photographic X-ray equipment and perspective/photographic X-ray equipment;

2. Classification according to imaging methods: traditional X-ray photography (including using image intensifier, X-ray TV or film equipment), computerized X-ray photography system (CR) and digital X-ray imaging system (DR);

3. Classification by structural form: fixed, mobile and portable;

4. Classification by output power: small, medium and large.
