Radiographic imaging has been radically transformed over the last two decades through sheer speeds of technological advance, innovative design thinking, and the international demand for improved, faster, more precise, and patient-friendlier diagnostic answers. With health systems re-inventing themselves to tackle 21st-century challenges, the world of radiography remains an ongoing expression of convergence between engineering greatness, digital synergy, and clinical acuity.
This handbook provides an authoritative account of modern radiographic equipment released between 2010 and 2025, highlighting important developments across a wide range of imaging modalities—spanning digital radiography (DR) and computed tomography (CT) to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), mammography, fluoroscopy, and mobile imaging systems. This handbook is an authoritative overview of new radiographic equipment introduced between the years 2010 and 2025, with noteworthy advancements throughout the whole range of imaging modalities—from digital radiography (DR) and computed tomography (CT) to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), mammography, fluoroscopy, and mobile imaging systems. Each chapter covers the technological evolution of model equipment from industry leaders such as GE Healthcare, Siemens Healthineers, Philips, Canon Medical Systems, and others, with emphasis on innovation as well as clinical impact.
The purpose of this book is to serve as a comprehensive guide for radiologic technologists, biomedical engineers, educators, health care administrators, and students. By cataloguing the progression of equipment from previous generations up to the present day, this book attempts to close the gap between historical progress and contemporary practice so that there can be an improved understanding of how radiographic technology has affected and continues to affect contemporary medical diagnosis.
In an era where precision medicine and digital health are finding their way to the forefront of best patient care, a clear understanding of the tools that enable diagnostic excellence is not only worth it—it is necessary. It is with this in mind that this book seeks to educate, inspire, and expand professional knowledge within the discipline of radiographic sci
