Home » Buyer’s Guide to Chiropractic X-ray Systems in Australia FAQs

Why is having an in-house X-ray system valuable for a chiropractic clinic?

In-house X-ray supports more accurate diagnosis, improves medico-legal compliance, and builds patient trust.

What key features should chiropractors look for in an X-ray system?

Important features include full-spine stitching, DR (digital radiography) technology, PACS integration, compliance with radiation regulations, and upgrade pathways.

What is the price range for chiropractic X-ray systems in Australia?

Typical costs run between AUD $70,000 and $120,000, depending on system type and features.

Is DR (Digital Radiography) better than CR (Computed Radiography)?

Yes — DR offers faster workflow, higher image resolution, and lower radiation dose compared to CR, which can make up for its higher upfront cost.

How does PACS integration benefit a chiropractic clinic?

PACS provides seamless storage, reporting, and secure access to images, helping with clinical workflow and compliance.

What regulatory compliance is needed for X-ray systems in Australia?

Clinics must handle licensing for equipment and operators, room shielding, and must have a Radiation Safety Officer (RSO) to meet local regulations.

Can I upgrade my existing X-ray system rather than buy a new one?

Yes — Medic Cloud offers options like DRGEM system upgrades or retrofit solutions to convert older systems to digital.

What kind of ROI can I expect from investing in a chiropractic X-ray system?

Upgrading to or installing a DR system can increase patient throughput and efficiency, which strengthens long-term ROI — plus retrofits let you modernise without full replacement costs.

Why do many chiropractors in Australia choose Medic Cloud for X-ray systems?

Medic Cloud supports over 60% of in-house chiropractic imaging clinics, partners with DRGEM, provides lifecycle solutions, and helps with compliance and licensing.

How do I get started if I want to set up or upgrade my clinic’s X-ray system with Medic Cloud?
