The Adaptix Ortho350 (K252133) is a 3D tomographic X-ray device intended to generate tomosynthesis images of human anatomy for diagnostic purposes of body extremities, upper/lower limbs, and adjacent anatomy in all routine radiography examinations. The device comprises of an Ortho350 C-Arm Assembly and a Control PC. It is also possible to create 2D X-ray images of the desired anatomy.The Adaptix Ortho350 device is a portable system that can be placed on a benchtop or the floor or mounted on an optional cart for added mobility. To obtain 3D tomosynthesis images, the relevant area of the patient is positioned against the detector cover then X-rays are emitted from a controlled sequence of locations. The system uses a low-power, monoblock X-ray source with integrated controls and feedback, synchronized electronically with the detector for tomosynthesis image acquisition. The system is operated by an X-ray technologist or suitably qualified healthcare professional using and designed with safety features to only allow X-ray emission when multiple controls are in place.
An assembly of devices used to produce 2-dimensional cross-sectional (tomographic) images on x-ray film at a fixed angle and depth in relation to body position by coordinating a prescribed pattern of non-linear x-ray tube motion (elliptical, circular, clover shaped, spiral, as well as linear, depending on the system design) during exposure sequences. This approach causes the shadow of the selected plane to remain stationary on the moving film while the shadows in both directions of the plane have a relative displacement on the film and are either obliterated or blurred. This GMDN code reflects old technology, now superseded by computed tomography (CT) systems.
