Used to produce graphic images of internal structures.
Technical
Early, elaborate x-ray machine features both fluoroscoping (diagnostic) and radiographic (treatment) apparatus, and a table capable of both vertical and horizontal positioning. Probably used with separate curved potter-bucky. X-ray machines were able to take only single films. The unit usually has the tube mounted above, and the film below. The tube can usually be moved to various positions and angles including the horizontal position for chest films, in which case the cassette and Bucky are in a separate stand.
