The collimator's positions are pre-set by the manufacturer and may not be changed by the user.


Scanner Test .
2. From the window bar select Tools  Beam Limiter Test. Select the desired FOV.
3. Set the radiological parameters depending on the selected FOV (S tandard : SFS, 1 mA, 10 msec, KV
= 110; HiRes standard : SFS, 6 mA, 10 msec, KV = 110)
4. Perform an acquisition.
5. Verify the acquired image is correctly collimated (the green rectangle should be entirely included in
the gray acquired area. The edges of the rectangle must be included between the two couples of red
lines).
WARNING:

within the red lines, please contact our Technical
