I Umatshini ophathwayo we-X-ray ngamatshini omncinci we-X-ray onokuthi afezekise injongo ye-fluoroscopy, enokufakwa kumfanekiso kwi-X-ray. I Umatshini ophathwayo we-x-ray oqokelelwe ikakhulu yityhubhu ye-X-ray, ukuhambisa amandla, kunye nesekethe yolawulo. I-X-ray tube ye-X-ray iqulunqwe ngesifilitho se-Cathode, ithagethi, kunye netyhubhu yeglasi ye-vacuum, ebonelela nge-village ephezulu ye-vacuum, ebonelela ngendawo yombane ephezulu ukwenza i-filament isebenza kwaye ikhutshiwe. I-Cathode iququzelela ukuhamba kwe-elektroni ephezulu. I-elektroni yesantya esiphezulu ingena into kwaye iqhubekisiwe yi Umatshini ophathwayo we-X-ray ukuvelisa umfanekiso wakho. Inokuhlaziywa Umatshini ophathekayo wedijithali ye-X-ray xa usongeza i-pilner yepaneli yeflethi kunye nekhompyuter, inokufuduselwa ebhedini yesigulana.
