Multix Swing giving new momentum to practices

SIEMENSDuring the Medica in Duesseldorf, Siemens Medical Solutions shows an X-ray unit that ensures high quality diagnostics for practices with limited budgets. Known as Multix Swing, the system brings new momentum into the everyday life of medical practices headed by radiologists, surgeons and orthopedists.

Multix Swing is a compact, cost-effective X-ray unit with a broad range of diagnostic applications. The system is suitable for all routine exposures – in the recumbent, sitting or standing position – as well as all orthopedic questions, skeletal and thoracic as well as trauma and accident diagnostics.

The new system meets the frequently less than optimal space availabilities of private practices with a special solution: the generator is integrated into the table and does not require its own space. This integration also facilitates the unit's installation: it usually does not take more than two to three days from system delivery to the first actual X-ray exposure.

For the price of a medium class car, the physician obtains an X-ray system that is cost-effective in its upkeep and multi-facetted in its application. A floating tabletop, a reciprocating grid as well as a dose measurement chamber are part of the delivery volume. The catapult Bucky is mechanically driven in the area of the table. This allows for easy examination of overweight patients as well. As an option, the Bucky wall stand Vertix Swing can be added to the system.
