A service evaluation of the clinical and cost effectiveness of a home-deployed mobile x-ray imaging service in a regional setting

This pilot demonstrates the potential for mobile X-ray services to enhance patient care and reduce healthcare costs. Future implementation should focus on reducing repeat imaging rates and addressing logistical challenges to optimize the service's effectiveness in different settings. Ongoing monitoring and staff training will be essential for sustainable service delivery.
