| Popis: |
The Statscan (Lodox Systems Pty (Ltd), Sandton, South Africa) is a low-dose, digital full-body X-ray machine designed specifically for use in hospital trauma units. The technology was developed by De Beers to be used in X-ray machines that could rapidly determine the location of stolen diamonds on workers using a low radiation dose. The machine makes use of a thin fan-beam X-ray that is scanned down the length of the patient in 13 seconds. A proprietary digital detector consisting of CCD cameras and fibreoptic tapers produces a full-body actual-size image of the patient, which is viewed on a dedicated 21-inch digital viewing station. |
