Speed of Operation

The JSB machine takes a maximum of 5 seconds to do a whole spine or long bone scan. As soon as the scanning is done, the data collected is processed and a long-bone digital X-ray image is available for examination within 1-2 minutes. The X-ray picture is scalable and the medical personnel can look at the full spine or long bone in one glance or zoom into specific detail should they need to. Also due to the fact that the picture is digital, it can be distributed quite easily. Conventional X-rays and CT scanners could give the same result but to get a good quality image can take up to 30 minutes and much longer to collate enough data for a full-body picture.
