PXS-810 High Frequency Podiatry X-Ray System - CR/DR compatible

PXS-810 Presentation Features and Benefits Brochure Technique Chart CR Scanner

The model PXS-810 was designed for Superior imaging performance and convenient patient positioning for the Podiatry professional, And Foot and Ankle Surgeon Radiology applications.

The PXS-810 incorporates a high Frequency Generator to provide maximum mR/mAs, and has a microprocessor output of 80kV at 10mA. With its 0.5mm focal spot x-ray tube, and high output generator, the model PXS-810 provides Excellent Image Resolution and Faster Exposure Times for Podiatry Radiography.

The PXS-810 can be used with conventional film screen technology, CR/DR-systems. The PXS-810 has the power to compensate for the slower operating speeds of CR-systems without compromising imaging quality

The PXS-810 Radiographic Base has vertical slots to accommodate a 10" x 12" film cassettes, and provides Patient Safety Railings that ensure safe positioning for physically unstable patients.

Harris
Axial projection of the heel is useful for demonstrating talo-calcaneal bars. Patient stands with both feet on the film. The patient leans forward slightly. The tube is positioned behind the patient and the central ray is angled 45 degrees towards the heels and is centered between the medial malleolus.

Lewis Method
The routine view of the Sesamoid bones of the first metatarsal.

Isherwood Methods (subtalar region)
1) Projection to demonstrate the anterior subtalar articulation. Medial border of the foot at a 45-degree angle to the cassette. Center 2.5cm distal and 2.5cm anterior to the lateral malleolus.
2) Projection to demonstrate the middle articulation of the subtalar joint and give an end-on view of the sinus tarsi. Foot in the AP ankle position, rotate the ankle 30 degrees medially. Center to a point 2.5cm distal and 2.5cm anterior to the lateral malleolus with a 10 degree cephalad angulation.
3) Projection to demonstrate the posterior articulation of the subtalar joint in profile.
Foot in the AP ankle position. Rotate the ankle 30 degrees laterally. Center to a point 2.5cm distal to the medial malleolus with a 10-degree cephalad angulation.

Broden I
Subtalar joint view. Foot positioned as for AP ankle, then rotate the foot 45 degrees medially. Angled the tube cranially between 10 degrees and 40 degrees.

Broden II
Subtalar joint view. Foot positioned as for AP ankle, then rotate the foot 45 degrees externally. Angle the tube cranially 15 degrees.

Causton Method
Oblique foot projection to demonstrate the sesamoids. Position foot laterally, with the medial side against the cassette. Angle the central ray 40 degrees towards the ankle and center to the first metatarsophalangeal sesamoids.
