PORTABLE MEDICAL DIGITAL RADIOGRAPHY ASSEMBLY

A portable medical digital radiography apparatus includes a ruggedized transport case housing several system components, a digital X-ray image sensor and an X-ray generator. The digital X-ray image sensor is hingedly coupled to a stand that is mounted to the ruggedized transport case. The X-ray generator is preferably positioned opposite to the center of digital X-ray image sensor. A patient support unit is disposed between digital X-ray image sensor and the X-ray generator. An image acquisition unit is connected to the X-ray generator and to the digital X-ray image sensor and fixedly mounted in the ruggedized transport case. An image display unit is connected to the image acquisition unit and spaced from the X-ray generator.
