MULTIMOBILE 2.5


The economical solution in mobile x-ray imaging
Mobile x-ray technology from Siemens – high performance with low dose

Siemens is one of the pioneers in mobile x-ray imaging. Through our continuing search for excellence in this special field of imaging, Siemens sets a new standard with MULTIMOBIL 2.5, a versatile and highly economical mobile x-ray system with a 2.5 kW power generator.

With the self-calibrating, high imaging output, MULTIMOBIL 2.5 is ideally suited
for the most demanding imaging tasks. MULTIMOBIL 2.5 provides advanced features, thoughtful design, and Siemens’ quality, whether used in the ICU, neonathal or pediatric departments,or in the ward. The light-weight MULTIMOBIL 2.5 is based on high frequency technology and supports Siemens‘ CARE (Combined Applications to Reduce Exposure) initiative which features solutions to make imaging safer for clinicians and patients.

What is high frequency technology?
With a conventional 2-pulse x-ray generator, voltages from zero to the nominal voltage are generated. But only voltages higher than approximately 75 % of the nominal voltage value contribute to film blackening. We refer to this as useful radiation. Lower voltages (less than 75 % of the nominal voltage value) produce soft radiation, which is partly absorbed by the patient’s body. This radiation is the unwanted radiation called skin dose. With its high frequency generator, MULTIMOBIL 2.5 ensures that only a film-effective dose is produced over the entire duration of the exposure while suppressing the skin dose.
