Shielding Booth for Space-saving

The capsule-type X-ray system was developed for the first time in the world by JSB Medics to provide shielding solution that will be able to function as all-in-one digital clinic. The system was developed for making most use of space. Fully shielded system requires only 1.5m X 3m of room space.

Due to the complete shielding of the Digital X-ray System, it is unnecessary to shield the X-ray room in its entirety. And space-saving design allows installation in confined areas such as consulting room. The minimum installation area is 3,000mm X 1,500mm. In addition, there is no need for control rooms or for the entire shielding of X-ray rooms, which is ultimately leading to lower costs.

Also, since taking X-rays right in front of the equipment is possible, it will save the operator's time in walking to the control room. And as the operator can take the X-ray near the patient, this will aid in stability in the patient and shorten the time necessary to take the X-ray.

Authorities are very sensitive when it gets to the governing of the placement and operation of X-ray equipment as well as human exposure to X-rays. With conventional X-ray equipment, rooms need to be specifically prepared for placement of the machine and operators are obligated to operate the machine from a distance protected by lead aprons and screens. The JSB shielding apparatus is unique in that it can be placed in any room and operating personnel are not exposed to scattered X-rays.
