Mammography equipment
Suspended above the large, flat table is an apparatus containing the x-ray tube. The apparatus moves on a jointed 'arm' so that it can be properly positioned. Above the table to the right are video screens.
X-ray equipment is mounted on a C-shaped gantry with the x-ray tube itself beneath the table on which the patient lies. Above the patient is an image intensifier that receives the x-ray signals, amplifies them, and sends them to a TV monitor.
