Scanning, Viewing, and
Managing Images
NOTE: For proper operation and calibration of the 35 x 35 cm cassette,
always insert the screen into the cassette so that the black writing is at
the cassette door or back edge. It is possible to insert this screen into
the cassette in any of four orientations, and if you fail to insert the
screen correctly, it could result in both calibration and functional
failures:
– The scan calibration procedure may fail causing an error
message.
– The screen may not feed properly from the cassette, causing an
error message and preventing any exposed image on the screen
from being processed.
Performing an Exam
The procedure for performing an exam using a phosphor screen is the same
as an exam using film.
To perform an exam:
1.
Select the proper size cassette.
2.
Position the patient and the cassette.
– For landscape orientation, place the gray corners at the right or left of
the image with the cassette’s gray Tube Side panel facing the X-ray
source.
