Top 5 Reasons to Use a Portable X-ray System for Maritime Applications

Life at sea is unpredictable, and medical care often comes with unique challenges. Source-Ray’s portable X-ray systems, like the SR-130 and PowerMax 1260, are purpose-built to address these challenges. Compact and with a rugged design, they seamlessly integrate into shipboard medical setups where space is limited.


Ranging from minor to critical injuries, having these X-ray systems onboard can make all the difference. At Source-Ray, we design, develop, and manufacture all of our X-ray products in the United States, continuing to support our healthcare customers on the high seas.

Advancing Maritime Healthcare with Portable Medical Imaging

Whether aboard military & expedition vessels, cruise ships, private yachts, commercial shipping, or offshore platforms, our portable X-ray systems are built to perform in challenging conditions such as constant vibrations and limited space. They feature rugged construction, power factor correction (PowerMax 1260; ability to seamlessly transition between 110V and 220V), and a compact design that ensures dependable operation and rapid deployment wherever they’re needed at sea or onshore.

Portable X-ray systems are essential on military, expeditionary, and commercial vessels, such as oil tankers, cargo ships, or offshore platforms, providing rapid, on-the-spot diagnostics to support mission readiness, reduce costly medical evacuations, and prioritize crew safety. Cruise ships and private yachts also benefit from these compact, high-resolution systems like the PowerMax 1260 and SR-130, which integrate easily into limited onboard spaces and empower medical teams to make fast, informed decisions without compromising safety while improving your overall guest experience.
