Abstract
The hand-held dental X-ray machine is a 30-pound, battery-powered X-ray machine capable of use in military medicine, humanitarian missions, and training exercises. The machine was developed for dental radiology, but with the attachment of a medical collimator, the equipment can also be used for medical exams. In 1992, the machine was tested under field conditions in a NATO joint exercise in Bolayir, Turkey. The hand-held dental X-ray machine was found easier to use than the currently deployed Siemens dental X-ray unit and than produced radiographs of equal quality.Entities:
