Mobile X-ray units

Buddy of mine fractured a foot so I took him to the ER, they brought out a portable X-ray machine which looked pretty cool. I think they used it on me once but didn't get to see it up close like that. The images were instant in HD. Lab tech said the value about 100k or more. Still cool stuff they advance in even if it's something that common. It looked something like this but don't know if it was the exact one.

Portable X-Ray units have been around for a very long time. X-Ray, Ultrasound and Nuclear Medicine also have portable units that can be taken to patient's room if the patient's condition makes it dangerous or impossible to transport them down to the Imaging department. It used to be that X-Ray units could only use film, but about 10 years ago they were all starting to become digital. Digital allows the adjusting of contrast after the image has been taken, which has eliminated a lot of repeats.
