A mobile x-ray apparatus having wheels for manual transport and an x-ray tube support attached to a base. The apparatus may be rolled by pushing and/or pulling the base, the support, or the x-ray tube. A brake is associated with at least one of the wheels to prevent rolling the apparatus when manually positioning the x-ray tube. The brake may be engaged from an actuator on the tube head, on the support, or on the base.

Digital x-ray imaging apparatus and method

A mobile radiography apparatus has a wheeled transport frame and a sectioned vertical column mounted on the frame, defining a vertical axis and having a base section with a first vertical position relative to the vertical axis and at least a first movable section that is translatable to a variable vertical position along the vertical axis. A boom apparatus supports an x-ray source, wherein the boom apparatus is coupled to the first movable section for positioning of the x-ray source along the vertical axis and extends outward with respect to the sectioned vertical column for positioning of the x-ray source in a direction that is orthogonal to the vertical axis.
