Maximum Image Quality in the OR: The Right Table for X-ray Examinations
The role of imaging in modern medicine, particularly in surgery and radiology, cannot be overestimated. X-rays are crucial for the diagnosis and performance of many medical procedures. Precise image quality is essential to avoid errors, accurately locate the intervention area, and ensure surgical success. The operating table plays a decisive role in this – both in terms of image quality and patient safety and comfort.
An important aspect when selecting the right operating table for X-ray examinations is the table’s ability to allow X-rays to pass through unhindered. The choice of material for the table top is of particular importance here. Equally, the table must have a high load-bearing capacity to meet the dynamics and requirements in the operating room without compromising image quality.
