Editorial Policy & Independence Charter
Last Updated: January 2026 · Governing standards for all published hardware reviews
1. Editorial Independence
X-Ray Review operates with complete editorial autonomy. Our editors, medical physicists, and biomedical equipment analysts determine review selections, evaluation criteria, and review ratings without influence from equipment manufacturers, distributors, or corporate sponsors.
No manufacturer is ever granted editorial pre-approval of review drafts, and positive coverage cannot be purchased under any circumstance.
2. Equipment Loans & Evaluation Units
When manufacturers or regional dealers provide hardware units or flat-panel detectors for bench testing, these loans are accepted under strict contractual understanding that loan provision does not guarantee a favorable score or editorial recommendation.
All loan units are returned to the supplier following the conclusion of evaluation testing unless explicitly noted otherwise.
3. Specification Verification & Labeling
Equipment specifications (including generator kilowatt power, focal spot sizes, Detective Quantum Efficiency, tube heat units, and drop ratings) are audited against manufacturer engineering sheets.
If specific operational metrics are not publicly available or independently verifiable, our editors will explicitly indicate: “Not publicly specified — verify with manufacturer” or label sample metrics accordingly. We strictly prohibit fabricating technical specifications.
4. Corrections Policy
Accuracy is our foremost objective. If a reader, technician, or manufacturer identifies an inaccurate technical parameter or factual error in our reviews, we welcome corrections at our contact page.
Verified corrections are applied promptly with an explicit revision date logged on the article.
