Warming-up of X-ray tube
The X-ray tube needs to be warmed-up before making X-ray exposures at the
start of each day and when the X-ray tube has not been in use for more than an
hour. This extends the X-ray tube lifetime.
To warm-up the X-ray tube
1.
Close the collimator blades fully
2.
Set exposure settings: 80 kV, 200 mAs, 100 mA and large focus
3.
Ensure that no one will be exposed
4.
Make a total of three exposures, 30 seconds apart
This procedure is used for a typical X-ray tube. Consult the X-ray tube
manufacturer instructions for the actual X-ray tube in use and comply with the
instructions if there is conflict with this procedure.
