Not necessarily... it is just as annoying/inconvenient to have to go and press buttons on medical machinery as on a TV

remote switch
Hi Rebecca,
As an alternative to remote control (which I agree with), "remote switch" might work too.
To reply to your second question ("what for?") if would be used for 'firing' the x-ray.
If the text advertises hospital/clinic services, it wouldn't seem to make much of a difference to a patient, but there you go!
See if it looks anything like this one:
http://www.sirona.es/ecomaXL/get_blob.php?name=pb_heliodent_...
They do call it "remote control" on that page. As I said, "switch" would be an alternative.
Good luck!

remote operation/remotely operated
this avoids the issue of 'control'
