An accident, such as falling on a ski slope, usually requires an X-ray examination of the injured limb and a trip to the nearest hospital or emergency clinic. In the near future, imaging services can be brought closer to the patient. Researchers in Oulu are currently developing a compact X-ray imaging device that even the patient could use if necessary. The X-ray device is easy to use and can be placed virtually anywhere, so it can be used not only to improve the accessibility of health services, but also to achieve significant cost savings in health care and specialized medical care.
