PANORAMIC UNITS
SITEX & SITEXS

PORTABLE
X-RAY GENERATOR
Increase the reliability of on-site X-ray techniques
while decreasing their costs
OUR CHALLENGE...
« To increase the reliability of
on-site X-ray techniques while
decreasing their costs »
To successfully meet this challenge,
ICM’s engineers have worked at
improving upon what we consider
to be largely tried and tested
techniques.
The technological options were
determined at each development
stage on the basis of quality,
general reliability and the need to
substantially increase the life of the
X-ray tube.
If you are already impressed with the
reliability of the SITEX and SITEXS
generators, we are confident that you
will be even more impressed with
their outstanding performance levels.
These performance levels will enable
you to take advantage of the most
favorable overall operating costs
available to the market.

A SIMPLE & EFFECTIVE
PRINCIPLE

PERFORMANCE

All SITEX and SITEXS units contain a
rod anode. This is the focal spot that is
outside the SF6-insulated high-voltage
generator. As maximum advantages are
derived from this ideal configuration, for
one and the same thickness, the volume
of lead required for standard radiation
protection is considerably reduced.
Consequently, the reduced weight that
is achieved makes it possible for further
investments to be made in the quality
and general improvement of the level
of performance (robustness, cooling,
accessories etc).
We can confirm that SITEX and SITEXS
are among the lightest portable X-ray
generators available to the market.

MEASUREMENT & CONTROL
Representing another first in a portable,
the SITEX and SITEXS have a facility to
ensure the direct and true measurement
of the high voltage. This essential
information enables the control system to
guarantee the stability and reproducibility
of the radiological parameters based
on true high-voltage values rather than
merely estimating an HV value based on
dose output.

A high-efficiency heat exchanger has
been developed in collaboration with
the Institute of Thermo-mechanics at
the University of Liege. This results in
the possibility of a 100% working cycle
under completely safe conditions, whilst
simultaneously reducing the anode
temperature by 50%.

ENSURING PERFECT
HOMOGENEITY
The SITEX and SITEXS panoramic X-ray
tubes come equipped with a patented
automatic system of beam correction.
Perfect homogeneity is ensured thanks
to a real time feedback loop adjustment
and the EMR value achieved on the films
is < 5%.

SITEXS, THE ‘EXTRA-SMALL’…
These ‘XS’ X-ray generators are in fact
reduced versions of the corresponding
SITEX units available in 200, 225 and
250 kV versions and provide considerably
more compactness.
