ToggleHigh frequency X-Ray machines differ significantly from the traditional single phase X ray machines. High frequency machines are more efficient, easy to use and the quality of the image is remarkable. There are a few advantages of using a high frequency X ray machine over a single phase one. It makes it possible to acquire a similar film optical density and also a similar radiation dose. These machines need less exposure time in comparison to single phase X ray machines, due to its regular radiation and its potential. High frequency machines are said to be twice as efficient as single phase generators.
X-ray machines need a high voltage generator to give energy to the x-ray tube. A high voltage has to be maintained between the cathode and the anode to control the speed at which the electrons travel and strike the anode of the X-Ray tube. The speed of electrons are determined by the voltage. The higher the voltage the higher the speed of electrons will be and the higher the penetration power of X ray will be.
High Frequency Generators provide Digital Operator Consoles, as opposed to the physical dials used with Standard Frequency Generators to make proper settings for each examination. With a High Frequency system, the operator simply selects the exam type from a menu, enters the patient’s thickness and presses the expose button.
The operators of a conventional X-Ray system had to set the proper voltage, and exposure time settings each time. If the operator is not good at X-Ray physics, calculating dosages and parameters of image quality, they can end up taking several retakes resulting in higher exposure to radiation. High Frequency X-Ray generators procedure require less calculations which leads to faster patient turn-arounds. High frequency generators require lower power compared to conventional X-Rays.
In a high frequency machine, the square wave voltage is sent to the high-frequency transformer. High frequency of pulses sent to the high tension supply of an x-ray generator which aids in narrowing the spectrum of X ray beams which helps in lowering the radiation dose on the patient. The exposure time can be further reduced with a short and near constant potential waveform. When an x-ray machine works at a high voltage ranging from 2000 to 8000 Hz, it is said to be more efficient.
High frequency x-ray machines are better when compared to traditional single-phase machines, because of their efficiency in generating X rays. The ability to control high voltage power that is required to run the x-ray tube and the simplicity in usage. High Frequency X ray machines produce images of superior quality, it uses up less radiation dose, possess quality penetration properties, settings are pre-configured and reduces retakes and several exposures and better return on investment. Moreover, it has a compact size and design and low manufacturing cost and installation. High Frequency X-ray machines are not only helpful for medical professionals but also serve the patient’s needs quite well.
