Rating of the best negatoscopes for 2024

The negatoscope is a medical device that is used in hospitals to view X-ray images. What is it for? Its main task is to facilitate the process of studying radiographs in the light for the doctor and to allow a more accurate and high-quality assessment of the resulting image.

He helps to solve such questions:

• not to be mistaken in the diagnosis;
• prescribe optimal treatment;
• achieve complete and prompt recovery of the patient.

Radiography is considered by many to be the "old-fashioned" method, but despite its "advanced age", it has no equal in the diagnosis of many diseases. Of course, now you will not find old devices that are bulky and difficult to maintain. They were replaced by highly productive computer systems that allow high-precision image analysis, but their cost is too high to place such equipment everywhere. Therefore, both in provincial towns and small towns, and in prestigious medical centers in megacities, old-style X-ray machines are still in high esteem, only slightly improved. And the negatoscopes presented to them to help.

Characteristics of a quality negatoscope

Such devices should include a fluorescent or LED lamp with a power of 1000 to 1500 watts. Models available with two lamps. Thanks to them, you can carefully study even heavily darkened films. It will be convenient to work on the device if there is an opportunity to smoothly adjust the illumination level and image brightness. Removable screens also play an important role, allowing you to evaluate multi-format films.

Constructive elements of classic negatoscopes:

Name	Functions
Housing	Made of high strength steel, plastic or aluminum coated. It is durable and looks aesthetically pleasing.
Equipment	Designed for adjustment.
Snapshot attachment	These can be comfortable rollers that allow manipulation using only one hand.
Electronic components	The light is supplied by LEDs considered to be durable and energy efficient. Thanks to them, you can adjust the brightness, reduce the strain on the doctor's eyes. Configurable using the control panel.
Acrylic (viewing) glass	LGP is applied to its surface - a matrix visually similar to a honeycomb.This allows you to evenly highlight images, get a contrast and clear image, and correctly interpret the data. Accurate diagnostics depend on the quality of the matrix.
Diffuser	Helps to diffuse light so that it is evenly distributed throughout the glass.
Fastening fittings	Designed for fixing equipment to the surface.

The device is attached to a vertical surface, for example, to a wall, in connection with which special holes are provided at the back. But it can also be used on a horizontal surface. How does the apparatus work? Light travels through the glass and the image and is scattered to provide accurate information. The brightness of the glow and the presence of curtains for surface aperture allow convenient analysis of frames.

Modern equipment has liquid crystal displays that are powered by batteries or from the mains. They are also equipped with fluorescent lamps to prevent continuous flicker from distorting the image. Such a device warms up quickly and is ready for use in a matter of minutes. It is much more expensive than their first counterparts.

How to choose a device

Selection criteria may vary. Some pay attention to the average price, others choose the functionality, the third study the rating of the best manufacturers and their novelties, for the fourth the main thing is the popularity of the models. Tips and tricks will not always help here. When choosing a specific model of such medical equipment, you must first determine what it will be used for and what tasks to solve.

A single-frame device can be purchased for the clinic at an affordable price. It is enough to analyze one snapshot. For tomograms and radiographs in specialized medical institutions, it is necessary to purchase multi-frame devices that make it possible to track the course of the disease in dynamics.

In order to avoid mistakes when choosing, you need to carefully study other characteristics of the device. The brightness of the glow plays an important role. The higher it is, the more information the radiologist will be able to obtain about the human condition. It is better to choose a device that allows you to change the brightness of the backlight. Moreover, each doctor proceeds from his own preferences. An important point is the uniformity of the backlight. If spots and stripes appear on the screen, then the radiologist will face problems when studying the image due to excessive stress on the eyes, which can lead to incorrect conclusions and poor-quality treatment.

What else should you pay special attention to? On the possibility of using the device in mammography. In this case, the device must be manufactured with a special function. For mammograms, the images should be denser and more contrasty. Therefore, such equipment is subject to increased requirements, such as:

• the presence of curtains;
• allow you to adjust the brightness of the backlight;
• color temperature - not less than 6500K;
• luminescence brightness indicator - 7000 cd / m2;
• display dimensions - 18 x 24 cm or 24 x 30 cm.

Scope of the negatoscope

Today such equipment is widely used in medicine. The main areas are:

1. Traumatology. The device allows you to detect dislocations, fractures, helps to detect changes in the height of the intervertebral discs, to establish areas where the level of calcium salts is low, affected by metastases due to the development of cancer.
2. Oncology. Diagnostics of malignant and benign formations, detection of metastases.
3. Endocrinology and therapy. Determines the places of inflammation of internal organs, detects deviations in the development of organs.
4. Neurosurgery and neurology. Detection of hematomas in the brain area during trauma and stroke.
5. Dentistry. Diagnosis of diseases of the teeth and jaw bones, identification of inflammation and accumulation of pus in the root canals, which will make it possible to avoid medical errors during filling.
6. Mammography.It will allow you to correctly decipher the data of X-ray examination of the mammary glands, and as for radiosurgery and radiology - to analyze the data of radiographic images during ultrasound diagnostics, radiography, fluorography, X-ray, magnetic resonance imaging.
7. Gynecology. It makes it possible to correctly determine the patency of the fallopian tubes, and identify the reasons for the impossibility of conception.

If there is a need to purchase a negatoscope, then the question becomes: "Which one is better to buy?" First, you should study an overview of popular models, familiarize yourself with the proposed types of products, determine their scope, dimensions, read reviews.

According to buyers, the best devices should be made of high-strength material, be durable and be present in the rating of quality goods. The manufacturer can be any, both foreign and domestic. Which company is better to make a purchase, everyone decides for himself. There are inexpensive but noteworthy models.

Where to buy the selected device? Currently, there is a developed market for the sale of this type of medical equipment. There is a network of specialized stores where you can buy both expensive and budget equipment. You can order products online in the online store, having previously studied the information, what it is, its description, how much it costs, advantages and disadvantages.
