X-Cel MB-715NT Podiatry X-ray

MB-715NT Tilt-Head & Space-Saving Podiatry Design

The X-Cel MB-715NT podiatry X-ray machine combines a compact layout with dedicated foot and ankle positioning. Its patented Tilt-Head changes the X-ray source angle to help operators establish common views with fewer patient and equipment adjustments.

Key Features

• • Patented Tilt-Head supports common podiatry X-ray views
  • 28 in (71.1 cm) source-to-image distance
  • 6 in (15.2 cm) base
  • Space-saving stationary design
  • Lateral imaging from either side
  • 15 mA output with a 50-70 kV range
  • Low-voltage exposure switch with optional remote key box

The MB-715NT is designed for dedicated podiatry imaging areas where efficient positioning and available floor space both matter.

X-Cel MB-715NT Foot & Ankle Positioning

The MB-715NT combines a fixed 28-inch imaging distance, 6-inch base, and adjustable Tilt-Head to provide a dedicated positioning setup for routine foot and ankle X-ray exams.

28-Inch Source-to-Image Distance

The system provides a 28 in (71.1 cm) source-to-image distance (SID), which is the distance between the X-ray source and imaging surface.

This dedicated geometry supports foot and ankle positioning while contributing to the MB-715NT’s space-saving design.

Lateral Imaging From Either Side

The MB-715NT supports lateral imaging from either side of the system. This gives the operator more flexibility when positioning patients for lateral foot views and arranging the equipment within the imaging area.

6-Inch Podiatry Base

The MB-715NT uses a 6 in (15.2 cm) base. The base height is one of the primary differences between the MB-715NT and other X-Cel podiatry X-ray configurations.

Podiatry & Orthopedic Foot & Ankle Applications

The X-Cel MB-715NT podiatry X-ray system is designed for practices that routinely perform dedicated foot and ankle radiography and want a compact system built specifically around podiatry positioning.

Practices Most Suited to the MB-715NT

The system is suited for:

• • Podiatry practices
  • Orthopedic foot and ankle practices
  • Outpatient foot and ankle clinics
  • Specialty practices with dedicated foot and ankle imaging

Its space-saving design can support independent specialty practices as well as larger organizations with dedicated podiatry or foot and ankle imaging areas.

Common Foot & Ankle X-Ray Exams

The MB-715NT supports routine podiatry imaging needs, including:

• • Top-down foot views
  • Front-to-back foot views
  • Lateral foot views
  • Left- and right-side lateral positioning
  • Foot and ankle imaging for patients requiring additional positioning support

Patented Tilt-Head Positioning

The patented Tilt-Head changes the angle of the X-ray source so common podiatry views can be established with fewer patient and equipment adjustments.

Less Patient Rotation for Top-Down Views

The Tilt-Head reduces the need to rotate the patient when establishing a top-down foot view, helping the patient remain positioned while the X-ray source is adjusted.

Less Arm Movement for Front-to-Back Views

For front-to-back positioning, the Tilt-Head reduces the need to rotate the X-ray arm. This simplifies the transition between commonly performed views.

Less Collimator Adjustment for Lateral Views

The Tilt-Head also reduces repeated collimator adjustments when moving into lateral foot positioning, while the MB-715NT supports lateral imaging from either side.

Wheelchair-Compatible Positioning

Compatible views can be performed while the patient remains in a wheelchair, providing another positioning option when transferring onto the X-ray platform is not appropriate.

Exposure Controls & Digital X-Ray Configuration

The X-Cel MB-715NT combines dedicated podiatry exposure settings with straightforward controls and options for incorporating digital radiography into the imaging workflow.

15 mA Output & 50-70 kV Range

The X-ray unit operates at 15 mA with an adjustable 50-70 kV tube-voltage range. These settings provide the exposure range for the MB-715NT’s dedicated podiatry X-ray applications.

Low-Voltage Exposure Switch & Optional Remote Key Box

A low-voltage exposure switch provides exposure activation at the system. An optional remote key box is available for room configurations that require exposure control from another location.

Digital X-Ray Panel & Software Options

The MB-715NT can be configured for digital radiography (DR) with a compatible digital X-ray panel and imaging software. Panel and software options vary by system configuration, allowing MXR to match the digital imaging setup to the practice’s foot and ankle workflow.

X-Cel MB-715NT vs X-Cel 715-BD & FB-715NT

MXR offers three X-Cel podiatry X-ray configurations with different approaches to base height, positioning, and available room space. The MB-715NT is the 6-inch-base, space-saving option, while the 715-BD provides a lower 3.5-inch base and patient support rail, and the FB-715NT combines a 3.5-inch base with a folding design for tighter spaces.

MB-715NT: 6-Inch Base & Space-Saving Design

The MB-715NT featured on this page combines a 28 in (71.1 cm) imaging distance with a 6 in (15.2 cm) base, space-saving stationary design, and lateral imaging from either side.

X-Cel 715-BD: 3.5-Inch Base & Patient Support Rail

The X-Cel 715-BD Podiatry X-Ray uses a lower 3.5 in (8.9 cm) base, 29 in (73.7 cm) imaging distance, and a patient support rail that can be accessed from the front or side.

The 715-BD is the more relevant X-Cel alternative when lower step-up height and integrated patient support are priorities.

X-Cel FB-715NT: 3.5-Inch Folding Base

The X-Cel FB-715NT Podiatry X-Ray shares the 28 in (71.1 cm) imaging distance but uses a 3.5 in (8.9 cm) base and folding construction. It folds to 18 in (45.7 cm) wide and is designed for imaging areas where conserving floor space is especially important.

The MB-715NT remains the non-folding 6-inch-base option within MXR’s X-Cel podiatry X-ray lineup.
