Casualty radiology with lightweight X-ray machine.
A small lightweight X-ray machine is needed for use in military medicine for humanitarian service missions, training exercises, and even tactical situations. In such circumstances, the large size and great weight of conventional X-ray equipment limit its use and make this diagnostic modality unsuitable. I have used a small lightweight X-ray machine and obtained adequate X-ray exams in a high percentage of patients.
