Use of portable X-ray devices

What do you think about using portable X-ray devices?

Translated version of the Turkish original

I do not recommend portable X-ray devices for routine use. The clinician cannot leave the room during exposure and is exposed to radiation. Portable devices were developed for special situations outside the clinic, but unfortunately they are used for other purposes in many clinics. I recommend obtaining a wall-mounted device.
