Additionally, it is recommended to perform a daily or weekly light leak check as described in
. Using the High Reflectance Hemisphere to look for possible light leaks into the
imaging chamber may help detect potential radiation leaks out of the chamber. Performing this check
DOES NOT invalidate the requirement for the 12 month TOTAL radiation survey. It is possible for
X-rays to leak from areas outside of the imaging chamber, for example from the electronics
enclosure.
