X-ray 발생 장치는 X-ray를 촬영할 수 있는 곳에 장착하는 고정 방식과 환자가 있는 병실로 장치를 움직여 X-ray를 촬영할 수 있도록 하는 이동 방식으로 구분할 수 있다. 환자의 상태에 따라 이동 방식은 매우 유용할 수 있지만 병원 내의 AC220[V]를 사용해야 하는 제약이 있었다. 병원으로부터 원거리에 있는 응급환자를 진단하거나 대형 사고에 의한 재난에서 환자를 분류하는 경우 응급 센터의 의사의 역할이 매우 제한적이었다. 따라서 본 연구는 사고 현장이나 이동 중인 구급차 내에서 X-ray 촬영이 가능한 X-ray 전원 장치를 개발하였고 다음과 같은 특성을 얻을 수 있었다. 첫째, X-ray를 발생하기 위한 장치의 전원은 휴대가 간편한 밧데리(DC12[V])를 사용하였다. 둘째, 제어회로는 PIC16F84A를 사용하여 X-ray 발생 장치의 신뢰성을 확보하였고 기능을 다양하게 제공할 수 있었다. 이 특성을 적용한 휴대용 디지털 X-ray발생 장치는 사고 현장에서 X-ray를 촬영하고 환자의 정보를 응급센터에 전달하여 의사의 적절한 처방을 받는 미래 지향적인 응급의료체제가 가능하도록 기여할 것으로 기대된다.
