In everyday clinical practice, x-ray imaging remains one of the most reliable pillars of medical diagnosis. It’s fast, precise, and deeply embedded in hospital workflows. Yet behind every image, there is much more than a machine. There is an entire medical imaging solution designed to support clinicians, streamline operations, and ultimately improve patient care.
At Stephanix, x-ray machines are not considered as standalone devices. They are part of a broader imaging ecosystem, where performance, usability, and integration matter just as much as image quality. Because in real-life conditions, efficiency is not optional.
French manufacturer of remote-controlled radiology tables, Stephanix is specialised in medical imaging systems for 40 years, with a complete range of products to meet the needs of radiology units in hospitals, clinics and practices.
STEPHANIX is one of the major players in radiology with a with a worldwide presence in over 100 countries.
Stephanix’s industrial partners: Canon, Thales and Medecom have enabled us to optimise our know-how by combining our skills and our mutual innovations.
We offer digital radiology solutions: fluoroscopy radiography systems, mobile X-ray radiography units, digital radiography rooms, mobile surgical C-arms, medical imaging workstations, etc.
Our expertise is recognised worldwide, and our remote controlled tables, which we design, develop and manufacture in our factory near Saint-Etienne, are certified as ‘Origine France Garantie’.
Stephanix designs medical imaging solutions that address the full scope of clinical radiology — from initial acquisition to image archiving.
In a healthcare environment where accuracy and speed are critical, medical imaging solutions play a central role. They support clinical decision-making at every stage, from initial diagnosis to treatment follow-up, while helping healthcare professionals work more efficiently.
Advanced medical imaging solutions are not only about producing high-quality images. They are designed to fit into real clinical workflows, ensuring reliable image acquisition, smooth data management, and seamless collaboration between radiology teams and referring physicians.
By combining robust X-ray technology with intelligent software and connected systems, medical imaging solutions help reduce delays, improve diagnostic confidence, and optimize daily operations in radiology departments. The result is a more consistent level of care, for both clinicians and patients.
An x-ray machine is a diagnostic imaging device that uses controlled x-ray radiation to generate X rays and produce high-resolution digital images of the internal structures of the body. These machines are essential in modern healthcare to perform medical x rays that help healthcare professionals detect fractures, monitor diseases, and guide many treatments - all without invasive procedures. Modern digital x-ray machines are designed for precision, speed, and patient safety, using advanced technology to optimize radiation exposure while delivering clear, detailed results.
1. Radiography Fluoroscopy Systems (R/F Systems)
Remote-controlled digital fluoroscopy systems combine static radiography with real-time fluoroscopic imaging. These versatile X-ray machines are essential for following clinical applications:
- Gastrointestinal studies (barium swallow, upper GI series)
- Urological examinations (IVP, cystography)
- Orthopedic procedures (arthrography, joint injections)
- Vascular interventions with digital subtraction angiography (DSA)
Recommended x ray solutions : D²RS 9090, D²RS

2. Digital Radiography Systems (DR Systems)
Fixed digital radiography rooms are the backbone of modern radiology departments. Designed for high-volume general radiography, these x-ray machines deliver exceptional image quality with optimized workflow efficiency.
Clinical applications:
- Chest radiography (PA, lateral, apical views)
- Skeletal imaging (bones, joints, spine)
- Abdominal imaging
- Pediatric radiography
- Emergency trauma imaging
Recommended rad rooms: Xtreme Premium, Xtreme, Rad Series E+ Dream

3. Mobile Radiography Systems (Portable X-ray Machines)
Portable X-ray machines bring diagnostic imaging directly to the patient's bedside, operating room, or emergency scene. Essential for critically ill patients who cannot be transported to the radiology department.
Clinical applications:
- ICU bedside imaging (chest X-rays for intubated patients)
- Emergency department trauma cases
- Operating room intraoperative imaging
- Nursing home and home healthcare visits
- Sports events and disaster response
Recommended x ray units: Movix DReamy, Movix 4/8 E+ Dream

4. Mobile Surgical C-arms
C-arm X-ray machines provide real-time fluoroscopic guidance during surgical and interventional procedures. The C-shaped arm allows flexible positioning around the patient for multiple imaging angles.
Clinical applications:
- Orthopedic surgery (fracture reduction, pin/screw placement)
- Pain management (epidural injections, nerve blocks)
- Vascular interventions (angiography, stenting)
- Urology procedures (PCNL, stone removal)
- General surgery (foreign body localization)
Recommended c arms: Omniscop DReam-S, Omniscop DReam
View our C-arm systems
There are several types of x-ray machines, each designed for specific imaging needs and environments.
Conventional x-ray machines: Commonly used in hospitals and clinics for general radiography, such as chest, bone, and joint imaging.
Digital x-ray machines: Offer instant, high-quality images with lower radiation doses, improving diagnostic accuracy and workflow efficiency.
Portable x-ray machines: Lightweight and mobile, ideal for emergency care, bedside imaging, or situations where patient transportation is difficult.
Fluoroscopy systems: Provide continuous real-time x-ray imaging, often used in surgical procedures and interventional radiology.
Choosing the right x-ray machine depends on the application, desired image quality, patient safety requirements, and the available space and budget.
The Stephanix Manufacturing Advantage
« Origine France Garantie » Certification
Stephanix is proud to be one of the few X-ray machine manufacturers with the prestigious "Origine France Garantie" label. This certification guarantees that our remote-controlled radiology tables are:
- Designed in France (Saint-Étienne engineering center)
- Manufactured in France (our factory near Saint-Étienne)
- At least 50% of the unit price is acquired in France
What this means for you:
✓ Superior craftsmanship and quality control
✓ Support for local employment and economy
✓ Reduced carbon footprint (shorter supply chain)
✓ Compliance with strict French and EU regulations
Customization and Flexibility
As a mid-sized French manufacturer, Stephanix offers customization options that large corporations cannot:
- Tailored configurations: Adapt systems to your specific room dimensions and workflow
- Custom protocols: Pre-program exam techniques for your patient population
- Interface languages: Add custom language support if needed
- Integration: Work directly with your IT team for seamless PACS integration
During an x‑ray examination, the system emits a controlled beam of X rays that pass through the patient’s body. Because different tissues (bone, muscle, organs) absorb x rays differently, the detector on the opposite side records these variations and converts them into digital images. Bones appear white, while softer tissues appear darker. Advanced digital imaging systems then process these signals instantly into clear visuals on a monitor. Modern digital systems improve workflow efficiency, enhance image clarity, and allow the images to be easily stored, shared, or archived. Today’s digital X-ray systems process these images instantly, improving diagnostic accuracy and allowing patient care in both hospitals and clinics.
