About the Definium 5000
The equipment consists of a Vertical Column and a Swivel Arm with variable height that holds the Tube-
Collimator Assembly and the Image Receptor Assembly. It allows radiographic exposures to patients in
standing position and sitting or laying over a mobile table.
The Control Panel is ergonomically built, equipped with controls and indicators logically arranged and
easily accessible. Duplicate of controls are present at the Image Receptor Assembly for a better
accessibility and handling of the equipment in accordance with the movement to be performed.
All the movements of the Swivel Arm are motorized. A soft thumb pressure on the control buttons allows
the linear and rotation movements. Undertable and Thorax positioning of the swivel arm is automatically
performed by pressing the respective controls.
