Mónico Sánchez Moreno demonstrating his portable x-ray machine to a doctor. Mónico Sánchez Moreno (4 May 1880 – 6 November 1961) was a Spanish electrical engineer, inventor and industrialist, an early developer of high frequency electrical conduction equipment, wireless telephony, radiology, electrotherapy and the first portable x-ray machine in 1909.
An X-ray generator generally contains an X-ray tube to produce the X-rays. Possibly, radioisotopes can also be used to generate X-rays. [1]An X-ray tube is a simple vacuum tube that contains a cathode, which directs a stream of electrons into a vacuum, and an anode, which collects the electrons and is made of tungsten to evacuate the heat generated by the collision.
The equipment turned out to be in poor condition, but by the end of the year Caldwell had repaired it and set up a small office on 53rd Street in Manhattan to take X-rays. [7] This was likely the first X-ray laboratory in the city. [2] Caldwell performed X-rays for physicians on a contract basis. [7]
Syl Adrian claims that his brother, Matthew Adrian, invented and built the first machine in Milwaukee; his name is featured in a 1922 advertisement for an X-ray shoe fitter. Clarence Karrer, the son of an X-ray equipment distributor, claims to have built the first unit in 1924 in Milwaukee, but had his idea stolen and patented by one of his ...
He also developed a portable x-ray machine. [7] [14] [18] He also developed an early prototype of a snowmobile. It was a "snow machine" that attached skis to the undercarriage of an airplane fuselage and attached a propeller, and a sound track synchroniser (later selling the patent to RCA).
In 1907, Snook introduced the Snook apparatus, the first interrupterless device produced for X-ray work. The Snook apparatus was manufactured in England. [ 4 ] Snook next became president of the Roentgen Manufacturing Company in Philadelphia and was responsible for technical development and oversight of manufacturing until 1913. [ 12 ]
A portable wireless controlled battery powered X-ray generator for use in non-destructive testing and security.. Gamma radiation sources, [2] most commonly iridium-192 and cobalt-60, are used to inspect a variety of materials.
A portable aSi flat-panel detector is used to visualise the movement of liquids in sand cores under high pressure. Flat-panel detectors are a class of solid-state x-ray digital radiography devices similar in principle to the image sensors used in digital photography and video.
