Abstract
This review examines multifunctional X-ray systems of the new generation and their role in expanding the diagnostic capabilities of regional medical institutions. It is shown that the implementation of multifunctional X-ray complexes contributes to the early detection of respiratory and musculoskeletal pathologies, expands the possibilities for minimally invasive interventions under visual control, and increases the availability of high-tech diagnostics in resource-limited settings. The economic and clinical effectiveness of universal X-ray systems for overcoming healthcare inequality between central and peripheral medical institutions is substantiated.
