When the X-ray source is used for the first time or has not been used for a long time, in order to use the X-ray generator stably, aging treatment is required. When it is turned on for the first time, it starts to run from low voltage and low current parameters to ensure that the equipment gradually enters the working state under mild conditions. The voltage and current need to be gradually increased according to the set steps and time intervals until they reach the normal operating range. The aging time should be adjusted according to the length of time the equipment has been stopped. Strictly follow the provisions on aging treatment in the equipment manual and record the parameters and time of each operation. This not only protects the equipment, but also ensures its long-term stable and efficient operation.

Portable radiography (also known as mobile radiography) is frequently performed in hospitals when patients are too unwell to transport to the imaging department.
