The Philips Integris is a very old machine. Although I'm not an expert, the machine looks identical to the 1989 variant: https://www.philips.com/a-w/about/news/media-library/20190101-Philips-Integris-interventional-system-1989.htm

It's probably useless in any modern country.

That's what I was thinking. Specialized equipment is extremely expensive and I assumed a modern x-ray machine would be 1+mil and figured this one in the image had to be very old if it was so cheap.

Looks like an angiography system - a multi-axis x-ray scanner used primarily to image blood vessels.

Not sure how I feel about a place that puts a radiographic source in a room with windows.

Why did they leave this stuff and why does everything look relatively untouched?
