Scaled-down mobile radiographic/fluoroscopic units designed for extremity imaging of the feet, hands, wrists, elbows, and ankles. These units have very small input phosphors, typically 6 to 15 cm (2.5 to 6 inches) in diameter, that typically permit visualizing only a portion of three fingers simultaneously in one image. An optical magnifier can be used to view the output phosphor in place of an electric monitor when line power is not available. These units are used incritical care areas, the operating room (especially in hand and foot surgery), in physician offices, and in remote places.
