Grid

Remove the grid.

Filtration

Mount the Agfa calibration filter (Cu 1.5 mm).

Check that there is no additional filtration.

Collimation

The collimation area should extend at least 1.5

cm on each side of the DR Detector.

Note

: 

If the exposure settings used for a previous calibration are

known, use these settings.

On modalities that support automatic collimation, the collimation settings are

applied automatically and must be checked by the user.
Ralco collimators may limit the X-ray field. To overrule the limitation, the

collimator must be unlocked using a key and the collimation must be applied

manually.

Exposure Sequence

Procedure:

1.

Set the exposure parameters to the indicative value for the exposure level.

2.

Make exposures as instructed by the DR Calibration Tool.
Do not initiate a next exposure before the DR Calibration Tool displays the

instruction.
To avoid overheating of the X-ray tube, limit the rate of exposures to two

per minute.

WARNING:

Check if the exposure time of the exposures is less or equal

to 200 ms. If you notice longer exposure times, contact your

local service organization.
