Make sure that the y-line on the ball phantom is parallel to the line on the underside of the align-
ment ruler. Note that the line on the ball phantom and the line on the alignment ruler do not have
to coincide, but they must be parallel, the deviation may be ±1mm.

Tighten the screws, and remove the alignment pin.
Take another ball phantom picture to check the alignment again. Readjust if necessary.
