DESCRIPTION AND CONFIGURATIONS 
XFM is the new ITALRAY digital  mobile x-ray unit designed to perform radiologic examinations and 
diagnostic  investigations  both  in  the  department  (Operating  room,  Sports  Medicine,  Emergency 
Department,  Paediatrics,  Orthopaedics)  and  in  the  ward.    XFM  enriches  the  line  of  traditional 
ITALRAY mobile units with all the features of a X-Frame DR system. 
 
With this innovative unit Italray has matched the portability  and ease of use features of its mobile 
systems with the innovation of digital technology whose main features are mainly the optimization 
of both image quality and patient dose, and, not secondarily, immediate availability of patient and 
exam data throughout network, thanks to full DICOM 3.0 compatibility, for urgent data transfer to 
PACS or to a DICOM printer. 
Both digital technology and the high performances of XFM workstation allow Italray XFM to archive 
an high number of radiological images (more than 20.000) in order to avoid operators to download 
exams more than once in a day to the hospital PACS. 
 
XFM    acquires  digital  radiographic  images  by  means  of  a  portable  digital  flat  panel  detector  featuring  
amorphous  Silicon  (a-Si)  technology  and  a  Caesium  Iodide  (CsI)  scintillator  that  grants  for  brilliant  images 
with  extremely  sharp  resolution,  on  a  wide  active  area  with  an  important  reduction  in  dose  exposure.  This 
portable  detector  is  battery  powered  and  employs  wireless  image  data  transmission,  thus  freeing  the  room 
from cumbersome and risky cables. 
 
XFM  is  equipped  with  a  100%  microprocessor  controlled  and  high-frequency  generator  (40  kW) 
with  a  maximum  voltage  of  125  kVp  and  maximum  current  of  500  mA  that  assures  very  short 
exposure times, so important for the radiological examinations requested to this kind of device. 
 
A  large  area  19  LCD  high  contrast  touch  screen 
console, gives operator the complete control of all XFM 
parameters.  From  patient  and  exam  selection  from  RIS 
Worklist  to  radiological  parameter  setting  by  means  of  
a  step-by-step  procedure,  to  image  acquisition  and 
processing,  up  to  exam  transfer  to  PACS  system.    Pre-
programmed  Anatomical  Programs  facilitate  exam 
execution  and  increase  system  productivity.  The  touch 
screen  control  panel  is  characterized  by  intuitive  and 
large  buttons  (for  post  processing  and  DICOM 
integration)  and  can  be  used  also  wearing  protective 
gloves. 
 
 
The possibility of connecting XFM to the hospital network and  its  complete DICOM 3.0 integration 
grants total compatibility for data storage on hospital PACS.

Once extracted from its docking-station, (right under the touch screen display), the portable digital 
detector can perform examinations directly  in contact with the patient, either on a bucky table or 
on  a  stretcher  and  subsequently  transfer  the  radiological  image  to  the  docking  station  (and  so  to 
XFM  system)  both  in  a  wi-fi  mode  and  in  a  cable  mode    (with  a  back-up  cable).  System 
automatically  identifies  the  physical  connection  (cable)  and  automatically  sets  acquisition  without 
any operator intervention. 
 
As an option, XFM also integrates a grid support, for safe and effective grid examinations with this 
portable DR flat panel. 
 
XFM  has  been  designed  so  to  obtain  a  compact  and  lightweight  device,  extremely  easy  to  move 
around. Thanks to the use of very light materials, and a proper study of distribution of weights on 
XFM,  together  with  large  diameter  back-wheels  and  swivel  front-wheels,  XFM  handling  and 
transport are extremely easy, allowing the unit to overcome small obstacles with extreme simplicity. 
 
XFM limited overall dimension allows the operator to have good visibility during transportation and 
great mobility when passing through small and narrow spaces and elevators. 
 
XFM  high  manoeuvrability  permits  the  unit  to  well  operate  also  in  intensive  care  units,  well  know 
for reduced space due to the encumbrance of vital devices that cannot be disconnected. 
  
XFM is characterized with a dead man breaking system with a comfortable handle that facilitates 
the  unit  movement  and  positioning.  The  breaking  system  blocks  the  unit  in  any  position,  just  by  
releasing the handle bar.  
 
 
The  rotating  swivel  arm  gives  the  flexibility  youve  always  wanted  for  a 
mobile X-ray  system:  the  new  90 degree  freedom  of  lateral  arm  rotation  to 
the  left  and  right,  grants  additional  freedom  when  positioning  the  unit 
during examinations. 
 
When not in use, the arm can be completely folded and fixed, with a safety 
lock,  in its rest position, increasing operator visibility during transportation.

XFM DR MOBILE: BATTERY PACK FOR EXPOSURES WITHOUT CONNECTION TO MAINS (OPTIONAL)   
Another important feature of XFM is the possibility of operating by means of the optional internal 
Li-ion battery in addition to standard electrical connection to mains. This allows extensive operation 
(to  perform  exposures  also  without  power  connection  available)  and  increases  its  portability  since 
no cable will encumber system positioning.   
 
Once  fully  charged,  the  system  can  perform  more  than  350  expositions  value  settled  for  a  thorax 
exposure with following radiological parameters: 80 kV, 200 mA /12 mAs). 
XFM DR MOBILE: MOTORIZATION KIT (OPTIONAL)   
XFM  DR  mobile  is  equipped  with  an  optional  motorization  system  in  order  to  further  increase  the 
outstanding manoeuvrability in addition to a  one-handed driving experience. 
 
Motorized XFM reaches a maximum speed of 5 km/h, this speed is controlled by a dedicated joystick 
positioned on the handle bar. Handle bar is used to block/unblock the brakes.  
 
 
Transport bar with control joystick for regulating amplitude and direction of motorization speed.
