Filing carts designed to store and transport x-ray films and/or x-ray cassettes. These carts typically consist of a metal (e.g., steel, aluminum) structure that may include several shelves with built-in large (e.g., 35 x 43 cm/ 14 x 17 in, 35 x 130 cm/ 14 x 51 in) compartments to keep the cassettes separated. The structure is mounted on medium-sized (e.g., 7.5 to 10.0 cm/3 or 4 in in diameter) wheels that are usually an integral part of the cart. Some carts permit horizontal film filing, facilitating file identification. Radiographic film/cassette carts are used mainly in radiology departments of healthcare facilities.
