description | BACKGROUND: Fujifilm (Tokyo, Japan) developed a portable X‐ray system called the CALNEO Xair, which can be carried by a physician. The X‐ray radiation machine weighs 3.5 kg. The dimensions are: height, 144 mm; length, 148 mm; width, 258 mm. CASE PRESENTATION: When a 33‐year‐old woman driving a car made a right turn at a crossroad, her car hit another car, causing her vehicle to tip onto its side. Staff of the doctor helicopter checked her at the scene, and the findings of chest and pelvic X‐ray were all negative. She received a diagnosis of cervical sprain and pelvic contusion and was transferred to a local hospital by ambulance. CONCLUSION: This is the first report of a case evaluated by a portable X‐ray system at the scene, under transportation by a doctor helicopter. This system could be useful for undertaking prehospital assessment and medical treatment. |
