tube stand or tube mount the portion of the tube head assembly that gives mobility to the
x-ray tube.
table Needed to easily position patients for examination
Designed to raise and lower
Has a four-way floating top with electromagnetic locks
A variation is used with fluoroscopy equipment
Wall unit It consists of a vertical rail assembly affixed to the wall and floor and a vertical
