4. Calculate the percent deviation of the length, width, and length combined with
width, by multiplying their deviations by 100, and dividing the results by the SID,
97 cm, or 38.2 inches. Write the results in the box below.

If deviations are greater than 3.2%, adjust the control system or collimator align-
ment until a deviation of less than 3.2% is achieved.
