Chapter 1 General Information System Configuration The Quantum Q-Rad System consists of a combination of integrated radiographic components, typically including an X-ray generator, X-ray tube and tube support, collimator, radiographic table, and an upright cassette holder. Different types of image receptors may be utilized with the Q-Rad System, including computed radiography (CR) receptors, as well as conventional analog film cassettes.

Q-Rad Floor-Mounted System The Q-Rad Floor-Mounted system is configured around either a free-standing, floor-mounted tube support (Model QS-550) or a wall/ceiling mounted tube support (Model QS-500). Because the free-standing version does not require wall attachment for support, it provides enhanced freedom of movement in the patient vicinity for the operator. Recumbent examinations are accomplished utilizing an elevating (Model QT-750) or the non-elevating (Model QT-740 and QT-730) radiologic tables. Standing (weight-bearing) examinations are performed using an upright, non-tilting (Model QW-420 Series) chest stand (cassette holder). The X-ray generator is available in various power output and operator control panel types, with the typical configuration including a 80 kW output generator with an Odyssey operator control.

Q-Rad “CS Series” Ceiling-Mounted System The Q-Rad Ceiling Mounted (CS Series) system is configured around a ceiling-mounted tube support (referred to as the “overhead tube crane”). The overhead tube crane is suspended from the ceiling on a rail system providing three-axes of tube head positioning capability. Recumbent examinations are accomplished utilizing an elevating (Model QT-750) or a non-elevating (Model QT-730 and 740) radiologic table. Standing (weight-bearing) examinations are performed using upright chest stand (Model QW-420 Series). The X-ray generator is available in various power output and operator control panel types, with the typical configuration having a 80 kW output generator with an Odyssey style operator control.
