When you think of Alcatraz, the infamous “Rock” and its notorious inmates probably come to mind — but did you know that Alcatraz Federal Penitentiary had a fully equipped X-ray room?

Medical care at the prison wasn’t just about routine check-ups. The X-ray room was essential for diagnosing injuries, illnesses, and other health concerns among inmates. Even in such a high-security environment, Alcatraz had an X-ray room, showing that even behind bars, basic imaging was part of inmate care

At Z&Z Medical, we love these fascinating tidbits of imaging history! While we can’t visit Alcatraz today to see that X-ray room, we do know the importance of high-quality imaging equipment and accessories in every modern facility — from hospitals and clinics to specialized imaging departments and for prisons today.

Explore Z&Z Medical’s full line of imaging equipment, x-ray portables, and imaging accessories, and see how modern technology continues to make a difference in patient care — in our out of prison bars.

From positioning aides and protective equipment to consumables and imaging supports, our products help forensic radiology technologists capture the most accurate images possible.
