Zombies! Yes. I do what I can to alert people to the dangers of zombies in these buildings. It could be said the alarm goes off when zombies invade seeking brains to eat. But that room stores cadavers, so I'll speculate that the alarm warned of new zombies becoming active that are ready for zombie control collars.

I have one of those on my kitchen sink. Handy to have for those occasional home-spun autopsies on the neighbors.

@Matt M-Thank you for giving the background info on all these older contraptions. I was wondering what they were.

Regarding the tracks:

Some systems put the table on rails so they can create a swing lab.

The advantage of a swing lab is that the staff reposition the patient away from the bulky imaging system and continue the procedure.

This is a fluoroscopic x-ray system very much like the types of systems that are still in use today.

The cylindrical component is an image intensifier which will convert low levels of x-ray to light and amplify the output so that it can be seen either on a screen or on a monitor.

The black disc is an anti-scatter grid used to improve the quality of the image.

This is a late model special procedures radiographic system.

The system would have little value today as what it was intended for as interventional procedures are now done using fluoroscopic equipment and the bulk of the system would not allow use in trauma where you would still sometimes see similar equipment.

The thing that looks like an LCD is probably the anti scatter grid which is part of the bucky assembly and where the film is placed before the exposure.
