Having worked at several hospitals and imaging centers, I always find it interesting to see the variation between the x-ray equipment that is used. One facility I worked at had a Picker x-ray tube from 1958, and to my knowledge, it is still being used at that facility (although I'm certain the original tube inside the housing is probably long gone). Some places have brand-spanking new equipment, and most have something in between.
I would LOVE to get a library of images of different faces of x-ray tube controls... would anyone be willing to contribute some images to this library? If I get enough, I plan to create a dedicated page to display them all on this blog. Just send me a quick picture of the x-ray tube controls similar to the ones above.
Would you care to have nothing but the pictures? I just finded your blog it seems interesting. I myself have pictures of tubes that I've worked with, but like from previous jobs have no further information on them. Like when it has been installed and manufactures and so on...
ReplyDeleteIf all you care for are the pictures I could send you a few (from Finland!) but you need to give your e-mail then; the link provided in text doesn't work for me.

@E-S - I don't necessarily need information about any pictures. I'm just attempting to get a collection of images regardless of manufacturer, date of production or any additional information. It would be very interesting to see what equipment is being used in Finland as well... if you'd like to email them to me, please send to topicsinradiography@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteThanks!
