storage compartment
storage cabinet
passbox
ventilation
it contains an area for loading and unloading film
holders.
loading bench
what is the maximum lenght of loading bench
can fit 2 14X17 cassete
what is the proper height for loading bench
3ft
what is the proper depth of the loading bench
24inches
It is customary to deep supply of opened x-ray film boxes sufficient for immediate needs, located underneath the loading bench
film bin
The ideal way to store cassette and film holders are in vertical compartment, so that they are readily accessible but not encroach on the working surface of the loading bench.
storage compartment
A cabinet which you can store, different accessories used in processing such a Package chemicals, Mixing Accessories, and Towels and etc.
storage cabinet
also called “Cassette Transfer Cabinet”
passbox
Those that exit the patient and interact with the image receptor
IMAGE FORMING X-RAYS
The x-rays that remain as the useful beam exits the patient
EXIT BEAM
