WHAT IS IT
X-rays make up X-radiation, a form of electromagnetic radiation. Most X-rays have a wavelength ranging from 0.01 to 10 nanometers, corresponding to frequencies in the range 30 petahertz to 30 exahertz (3×1016 Hz to 3×1019Hz) and energies in the range 100 eVto 100 keV. X-ray wavelengths are shorter than those of UV rays and typically longer than those of gamma rays. X-ray photons carry enough energy to ionize atoms and disrupt molecular bonds. This makes it a type of ionizing radiation and therefore harmful to living tissue. A very high radiation dose over a short period of time causes radiation sickness, while lower doses can give an increased risk of radiation-induced cancer. In medical imaging this increased cancer risk is generally greatly outweighed by the benefits of the examination. The ionizing capability of X-rays can be utilized in cancer treatment to kill malignant cells using radiation therapy. It is also used for material characterization using X-ray spectroscopy.
WHERE ARE OUR VET XRAYs FROM – AJEX (Korea)
They were incorporated as of 1988 and in 2001 there was a name change to AJEX Meditech Ltd. They manufacture radiographic X-ray system, mobile X-ray system, portable X-ray series and other X-ray generators which applies high-frequency technology based on their experience with high-voltage technology since 1960. They maintain product certificate of CE/MDD, FDA 510(K) and quality management system certificate of ISO 13485, KGMP. Their products are used at over 40 countries as well as the USA & Europe. AJEX portable veterinary x-rays have powerful output allowing for most radiographic applications. They have enhanced quality images thanks to a small filament size; reduced unnecessary radiation dosage; X ray tube with longer lifetime and standard wall outlet power requirements.
