Note:
For film and CR cassette work, use your site’s routine techniques as with any other Xray system.
For ease of use, these techniques can be programmed into the protocol database. Refer to
Chapter 15: Preferences-Edit Protocol Database (p. 15-39)
for more information.
6. Change the
Cu Filter
selection, if necessary.
7. Position the patient with the cassette as appropriate for the exam.
Note:
If you are performing with more than one detector, please avoid the detectors overlapped
position when taking exposure. Because, with one detector placed in the table housing, when
another detector is positioned on the tabletop to take exam, the Exposure Inhibition may happen
when the two detectors overlapped. To dissolve the Exposure Inhibition, please move away any
one of the two detectors to avoid the overlap position.
8. Collimate and shield as appropriate for the exam.
9. Have the patient suspend respiration, if required.
