Mobile x-ray devices are used in chest radiography for patients who can't be relocated to the radiology department. As a result, a mobile x-ray machine is made with special features that allow it to fit in tight locations, such as between hospital beds, in small wards. A motorised drive, a small wheelbase that houses the generator, an x-ray tube coupled to a positioning column, and an exposure control panel make up an x-ray mobile system. The image receptor is crucial to boost the image quality and exposure safety. Additionally, various detector types, like Computed Radiography (CR) or Digital Radiography (DR) systems, can be used. When compared to CR systems, DR systems have the potential to perform examinations at lower doses, present a high spatial resolution, image quality, lesion-signal response, and a wide dynamic display range. When comparing the two systems, the DR systems' workflow is also improved.
Market Dynamics
At the moment, remanufactured and low-cost equipment manufacturers in developing countries are fiercely competing for market share in the worldwide digital mobile X-ray devices market. To compete with the competitiors, the companies are adding more funds to their research and development to add innovative, breakthrough, and non-competing product to their pipeline. For instance, on April 5, 2023, OXOS Medical, driving innovation in delivering and distributing medical imaging and radiographic diagnostics, stated a US$ 23 million Series A fundraising from Parkway Venture Capital and Intel Capital, increasing their total funding to US$ 45 million. With the funds, OXOS will quicken the development of new products and increase their accessibility throughout the world. OXOS is still gaining ground in outpatient clinics, the military, the Veterans Administration, sports teams, hospitals, imaging facilities, and bioskills labs. Gregg Hill, co-founder and managing partner of Parkway Venture Capital, and Eric King, director of investment at Intel Capital, will both join the OXOS board of directors in an effort to hasten the company's expansion.
