Didn't know about wtf they were talking about, but there's a portable xray system DIOX-602, for those ones that didn't know, like me, lol. It's a portable xray machine that send radiation to the sensor

**Visible Details:** The image shows two units of the **DIOX-602 Wireless Portable X-Ray System** manufactured by **DigiMed**. The left (main) unit displays a small **LCD screen on top** with **four control buttons** (two on each side of the display); a **white pushbutton switch** is visible on the left side panel, along with **mounting bracket hardware**. The right unit is labeled **"DIOX with longcone"** and shows an **extended cylindrical collimator cone** attached to the X-ray tube head, compared to the shorter cone on the primary unit — no error codes, indicator light states, or damage are visible in either image.

yesterday an xray unit broke for Willoughby dental, when I asked the Dr how old it was (thinking of possible warranty) he said it was from 1987. now sure if he was kidding or there are actually units older than me, but well lol

# Identify Portable X-Ray Systems: DIOX-602 and Nomad

## Problem
Technicians may encounter unfamiliar portable X-ray systems in dental offices. Two common models are the DIOX-602 Wireless Portable X-Ray System manufactured by DigiMed and the Nomad portable X-ray unit. These handheld systems transmit radiation directly to sensors and represent modern alternatives to traditional wall-mounted X-ray units that may be decades old.

## Resolution
1. **DIOX-602 identification**: Look for a small LCD screen on top with four control buttons (two on each side of the display), a white pushbutton switch on the left side panel, and mounting bracket hardware. The unit may have an extended cylindrical collimator cone attachment labeled "DIOX with longcone"
2. **Nomad identification**: Reference manufacturer documentation or training materials for specific visual characteristics
3. **Age assessment**: Be prepared for legacy wall-mounted units that may be 30+ years old, as these robust systems often remain in service for extended periods
