5. PERFORMING A 2D X-RAY EXAMINATION
The steps to follow to properly perform an X-ray examination are:
1 – Switching on of system and PC where the acquisition driver is installed
2 – Selection of the X-ray examination from virtual control console (PC/iPAD)
3 – Preparation of the X-ray examination
4 – Positioning of the patient (with optional aid of control console on PC/iPAD or its limited version for other mobile
platforms)
5 – Examination execution
6 – Image display and processing
5.1. STARTING THE SYSTEM
Turn the X-ray device on by pressing power button (1) on
the top RH side: the console lights up and an acoustic
signal is emitted.
If the X-ray device is in standby (multicolour flashing LED) press the CONFIRM button to reset the functions.
Before starting exposure, wait for the DRIVER software to be ready (the driver icon on the bottom RH side
of the PC turns green)
Once correctly starting system and DRIVER, the multicolour LED remains steady-on.
Excessive dose on pediatric patient: Use of equipment and exposure settings designed for adults of average
size can result in excessive radiation exposure for a smaller patient. Studies have shown that pediatric
patients may be more radiosensitive than adults (i.e., the cancer risk per unit dose of ionizing radiation is
higher), and so unnecessary radiation exposure is of particular concern for pediatric patients.
