Podiatric Professional
Working with leading podiatrists, MinXray designed and built its first podiatric x-ray unit in the early 1970s, just a few years after the company was established. Today, MinXray offers two x-ray systems to the podiatric professional; the HFPM mobile system and the HFPS stationary system. Newly added to these two popular systems is MinXray's proven state-of-the-art high frequency (HF) x-ray technology. The HF x-ray technology now offered with the HFPM and HFPS makes these systems the most compact, easy to use and efficient systems available to the podiatric professional.
MinXray HFPM and HFPS systems are the best choice for use with digital imaging media and provide superior image resolution. Use MinXray systems with 100 - 200 speed film or digital media for optimal image detail and exposure leeway.
The versatile HFPS can be installed with the x-ray unit on either the left or right side of the orthoposer base to best fit the space available in the podiatry office. DP, AP and oblique views are taken with the patient standing on the floor, thus enhancing safety. Lateral views of the foot, all ankle views and other specialty views are taken with the patient standing on the orthoposer base. Three safety railings on the orthoposer ensure patient safety and security. The easy-to-use MinXray HFPS has a clean contemporary design requiring minimal floor space.

MinXray model HFPM is a mobile x-ray system that is easily moved and operated for unmatched imaging versatility. The system rolls smoothly from room to room. The base is counterweighted and stable, eliminating the need for long legs that get in the way and take up space. Vertical travel of the tube head allows for simple positioning for weight bearing radiography on the floor or an orthoposer, or for taking non-weight bearing views over a wheelchair, exam chair or operating table.
MinXray HFPS and HFPM systems feature efficient high frequency x-ray units. High frequency x-ray generation produces more x-ray output per unit of time than conventional x-ray devices, thereby reducing exposure times by 50% or more! And MinXray HF controls are very easy to operate. Line voltage compensation is fully automatic. Adjustable kV of 50 - 70 is selected in 2 kV steps on the touch pad control. MinXray HF units also feature easily used memory for quick storage and one-touch recall of frequently used exposure techniques. Taking great x-rays has never been as efficient or as easy!
The MinXray Orthoposer is designed for easy use and patient safety. For lateral projections it will hold any cassette up to 10" x 12" (24cm x 30cm), while exposing half the film. The unexposed half of the film is protected from radiation by a built-in lead shield. The Orthoposer is made with attractive, easy to clean laminate, and complements any decor. It is low enough for easy mounting and large enough so the patient feels secure. The MinXray model OP Orthoposer can be used with most x-ray units. A metal cassette tray for split film imaging is included with the OP. The optional model CH cassette holder is available to facilitate full film ankle imaging.
