FAQs.

Answers

What is RoverX?

RoverX is a mobile diagnostic X‑ray system. It delivers exceptional image quality at the point of care, without the weight, complexity and lifetime cost traditionally associated with mobile X‑ray.

What makes RoverX different from other mobile X‑ray systems?

The architecture. RoverX is powered by Micro-X NEX, a solid-state carbon nanotube based X‑ray technology that replaces many of the mechanical systems traditionally used in conventional X‑ray generators. By eliminating components such as hot filaments, the rotating anode, oil cooling and associated drive mechanisms, NEX enables a fundamentally simpler, more compact and reliable X‑ray architecture. RoverX delivers the performance of incumbent motorised X‑ray carts but is fundamentally lighter, easier to operate, simpler to maintain and designed for a lower total cost of ownership. It eliminates the work flow and positioning challenges that large motorised systems pose.

What is NEX technology?

NEX (Nano Electronic X‑ray) is Micro-X's solid-state X‑ray technology with key innovations in X‑ray tubes and generators. Tubes are based on cold cathode field emission, that is the hot wire filament is replaced with carbon nanotubes as the electron source. No heat is generated when operating the emitter, resulting in a considerable reduction in size and no cathode cooling requirements.

How is RoverX different from Rover Plus?

Rover Plus remains in market and is unchanged. RoverX is the next generation system, with a redesigned body, revised footprint, a larger monitor interface and in-bin detector charging. It includes several feature enhancements to assist with workflow driven by direct feedback from Rover Plus users. The NEX imaging technology remains the same in Rover Plus and RoverX.

Is RoverX suitable for my facility?

RoverX is used from acute and critical care through to settings where access is the problem rather than the department. Hospitals: emergency departments, ICU and critical care, inpatient wards, neonatal and paediatrics, long term acute care. Outpatients and specialty: clinics, ambulatory care, orthopaedics, home. Where access matters: sports medicine, occupational health, rural and regional healthcare, mobile and satellite services, large events and venues.

Did RoverX win a design award?

Yes. Micro-X Rover was awarded a Gold at the 2026 Australian Good Design Awards, in the Product Design, Medical and Scientific category. The jury singled out the modular tubular chassis, the vacuum formed body, integrated detector charging in the bin, and an arm and head that reach positions a conventional system cannot.

Can RoverX deliver the image quality we need at the bedside?

Yes. Exceptional image quality you can rely on, with diagnostic confidence at the point of care. RoverX is demonstrated to deliver diagnostic imaging for lower dose than conventional mobile systems, with no imaging performance degradation.

What patients and examinations are RoverX for?

RoverX can image any patient, adult and paediatric, and any pathology that is typically performed in mobile bed side imaging

Is image quality compromised by the smaller, lighter design?

No. RoverX is smaller and lighter because of what NEX removes, not because of what has been reduced on the imaging side. The system is built to be compared with flagship incumbent systems, not with lightweight point-of-care units.

Can we see real clinical images?

Yes. Clinical images across a range of examinations are in the Clinical Images section of this page, and our team can take you through a fuller set during a demonstration.

How much lower is the radiation dose?

30 to 60% lower radiation dose, with no compromise on image quality. Source: white paper MAR015 1.0.

Does the lower dose mean a longer exposure or a noisier image?

No. The dose reduction and the image quality are delivered together, not traded against each other. Exposure times are all beneath clinical guidelines.

Does the lower dose protect staff as well as patients?

Yes. Lower dose means protection for patients and for the imaging teams standing beside the system every day.

Is there a paediatric filter?

Yes, as an option. A user-installed 1.2 mm Al + 0.1 mm Cu filter, which does not block the light field.

How heavy is RoverX, and how does it handle?

112 kg (247 lb), with a main chassis 500 mm (19.7 in) wide and a 583 mm (22.9 in) wheel base. It is designed around the people who actually use it, to reduce the physical and operational effort of mobile imaging.

Can it get into tight bedside spaces?

Yes. The arm and head position anywhere the image needs to be taken, in a smaller space than a conventional system needs.

How long does the battery last?

Up to 7 hours of continuous use, from five LiFePO4 batteries.

Where do the detectors go, and do they charge on board?

There are three detector slots, taking 25 x 30 cm, 35 x 43 cm or 43 x 43 cm detectors. One slot charges in the bin, so the next detector is ready without a separate charging step.

What is the screen like?

A 47 cm (18.5 in) Full-HD LCD.

What did radiographers ask you to change?

Seven things, and all are in RoverX. Green where your hands go. A hook for the apron. An arm that goes lower. Charging where the detectors live. A screen that tilts. Image stitching. An on/off button.

Who asked for those changes?

Radiographers, through the design sessions and the hands-on reviews that ran through development.

Does RoverX integrate with our PACS and RIS?

Yes. RoverX supports DICOM 3.0 Worklist, Store, Print, Modality Performed Procedure Step and Store Commit.

How does it connect to our network?

802.11 a/b/g/n/ac on 2.4 and 5 GHz, with WPA2-Enterprise or WPA2-Personal security (AES/TKIP).

What operating system does the imaging station run, and how is it kept secure?

Windows 10 LTSC 2019, with field software updates.

What is Tube for Life?

Tube for Life is a 10-year warranty on the NEX tube. The tube is the component that normally drives the largest unplanned cost in a mobile X‑ray system, so a 10-year warranty on it converts the architectural claim into a commercial commitment.

How reliable is RoverX, and what is likely to need servicing?

Simpler technology, fewer mechanical failure points. NEX removes the rotating anode, the oil cooling and the associated drive mechanisms, which is where a conventional mobile system carries most of its service burden.

Can we see RoverX in person?

Yes. Book a RoverX demo with our team, or come and see it at an upcoming event. You can do both from our RoverX webpage.

Is RoverX approved for sale in my country?
