Hybrid X-ray system with detachable radiation shield

A hybrid x-ray device for mounted and portable use. The hybrid x-ray device can include a housing, an x-ray source, a support connector, a shield connector, and an interlock. The x-ray source is coupled to the housing and configured to generate x-ray radiation. The support connector is coupled to the housing and configured to mechanically couple to a support arm. The shield connector is coupled to the housing and configured to mechanically couple to a removable radiation shield. The interlock is coupled to the x-ray source and configured to disable activation of the x-ray source when both: (a) the support connector is mechanically uncoupled from the support arm, and (b) the shield connector is mechanically uncoupled from the removable radiation shield.
