Interior Imaging Room Layout & Patient Workflow
The interior of an Infinity Mobile X-Ray Vehicle is meticulously designed to optimize a safe, efficient, and private patient imaging workflow. The layout is strategically divided into three distinct zones: a patient entry and preparation area, the main shielded imaging room, and a separate operator control room. The patient preparation zone includes a private patient changing & positioning area with secure storage for personal belongings. The imaging room is centered around the X-ray system, with clear floor markings for patient and detector positioning, optimized for both standing chest radiography and other common projections. The isolated operator control room houses the image processing workstation, ensuring staff are completely protected from scatter radiation while maintaining clear communication with the patient via an intercom and viewing window. This tri-zone layout enforces strict radiation safety protocols while streamlining patient throughput.
Radiation Shielding & Comprehensive Safety Systems
Radiation protection is the foremost engineering priority in a mobile radiology vehicle. Our shielding design is calculated by qualified experts to ensure compliance with the strictest international dose limits for both operators and the public. We implement a multi-faceted shielding approach, incorporating primary structural lead-lined radiation shielding within the walls, floor, and ceiling of the imaging room. The operator’s console and viewing window are also constructed with lead-equivalent materials. All penetrations for electrical conduits, HVAC ducts, and data cables are meticulously designed with labyrinthine paths or shielded covers to prevent radiation leakage. External warning lights, clear signage, and a secure door interlock system that prevents X-ray generation when the imaging room door is open are standard integrated safety features, creating a failsafe operational environment.
X-Ray Equipment Integration & Imaging Chain
Mobile X-Ray Vehicle & Mobile Radiology Solutions; We partner with leading global manufacturers of digital radiography systems to provide a complete, optimized imaging chain. Our engineering team specializes in the secure, vibration-damped mounting of the X-ray generator, tube stand, and high-frequency generator within the vehicle. The integration includes precise alignment of the tube with the digital DR panels & CR systems for consistent image quality. The image processing workstation in the control room is a high-performance clinical computer, calibrated for diagnostic review and connected to the detector for immediate image acquisition. We ensure the entire system is anchored to withstand transit forces, with all electrical and data connections employing robust, medical-grade connectors to guarantee reliability at every site visit, maintaining diagnostic confidence regardless of location.
HVAC Systems & Patient Comfort Considerations
Maintaining a controlled interior climate is essential for both equipment performance and patient dignity. Our units are equipped with a medical-grade HVAC system that provides independent and precise temperature and humidity control. This is critical for the stable operation of sensitive digital detectors and computers. For patient comfort, the system ensures the imaging room is adequately ventilated and at a comfortable temperature, which is particularly important for patients who may be unwell or anxious.

Combined with a professional, clean, and organized interior aesthetic, these features help to alleviate patient anxiety and contribute to a dignified diagnostic experience.
Robust Electrical & Power Management Systems
The power demands of a digital X-ray system are significant and must be met with unwavering reliability. Our mobile x-ray screening units are built with a dedicated power architecture. This system is anchored by a high-capacity, sound-insulated generator specifically sized to handle the peak current draw of the X-ray generator while simultaneously supporting HVAC, lighting, and computing loads. A hospital-grade Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) protects the image processing workstation, detector, and network equipment from power transients and provides a stable shutdown sequence in the rare event of a generator fault. All wiring is performed to medical electrical standards, with proper grounding and isolation to prevent electromagnetic interference that could affect image quality, ensuring consistent, diagnostic-ready power in any environment.
Integrated Data & Tele-Radiology Connectivity
In modern mobile diagnostics, the image is only the first step; timely interpretation is critical. Our vehicles are engineered for seamless data & tele-radiology connectivity. Each unit is pre-wired for robust internet connectivity, typically via a dual cellular router system with external antennae for strong signal acquisition, and can be configured for satellite uplinks in remote regions. We integrate secure networking hardware to enable immediate transmission of DICOM images to a centralized PACS & cloud data integration system. This allows radiologists at a central hospital to read and report on studies in near real-time, dramatically accelerating the diagnostic cycle and enabling effective mobile x-ray screening programs where on-site radiological expertise is not available.
Compliance with Radiation Safety & Healthcare Standards
Infinity Chassis Units designs and constructs every Mobile X-Ray Vehicle to facilitate compliance with international radiation safety regulations, including those of the IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency), IRR (Ionising Radiations Regulations), and local national radiological protection boards. Our technical documentation package includes detailed shielding design calculations, ase-built plans indicating lead placement, and specifications for all safety interlocks. While final licensing and registration of the unit as a radiation-emitting facility are the responsibility of the operating entity in their jurisdiction, we provide the engineered platform and supporting evidence to meet the structural and safety prerequisites for licensure, working closely with clients to navigate local regulatory requirements.
