Portal imaging systems are a type of medical imaging equipment used to capture images of the body’s internal structures. They are most commonly used in radiography, fluoroscopy, and computed tomography (CT) scans. The images produced by these systems are used to diagnose and treat medical conditions.
Portal imaging systems are typically composed of a source of radiation, such as an X-ray tube, and a detector array. The X-ray tube produces a beam of radiation that passes through the body and is then detected by the detector array. The images are then processed and displayed on a monitor.
The cost of a portal imaging system can vary greatly depending on the type and size of the system, as well as the manufacturer. Generally, the cost of a portal imaging system ranges from several thousand dollars to several hundred thousand dollars. Some of the major manufacturers of portal imaging systems include GE Healthcare, Philips, Siemens, and Toshiba.
