Can exposure hand switches be used for both conventional radiography and fluoroscopy procedures?

Exposure hand switches can typically be used for both conventional radiography and fluoroscopy procedures in X-ray imaging systems.

In conventional radiography, the exposure hand switch is primarily used to initiate the X-ray exposure process. When pressed, it activates the X-ray tube, allowing for a short burst of radiation to capture static images of the patient’s anatomy.

In fluoroscopy, the exposure hand switch serves a similar purpose but with a continuous X-ray beam. Holding down the switch enables continuous X-ray radiation, allowing real-time imaging of dynamic processes within the body, such as gastrointestinal or cardiac procedures.

While the functionality of the exposure hand switch remains consistent across both procedures, it’s essential for doctors to follow specific protocols and safety guidelines to ensure proper usage and minimize patient and medical staff exposure to radiation during both conventional radiography and fluoroscopy examinations. We are a manufacturer of X-ray machines and their accessories.
