Mobile X-ray units, equipped with wheels for easy maneuverability, are operated by licensed radiographers as a vital component of comprehensive medical evaluations. Utilizing Computed Radiography (CR), these devices capture digital images instantly, displaying them on screens for rapid analysis without the need for traditional film processing.

Legislation mandates the inclusion of X-rays, particularly chest X-rays, in holistic medical assessments for workers in high-risk environments. These include industries such as asbestos handling, water treatment, firefighting, sewer system maintenance, and other settings where unseen hazards pose significant health risks. Mobile X-ray technology ensures efficient, on-site imaging to support worker safety and compliance with health regulations.
