Care should be taken when placing lead markers on the receptor to ensure proper visualization on the-
digital image. Refer to
Chapter 4: General Information-Identification of Radiographs (p. 4-13)
for lead
marker information.
Digital Wallstand characteristics:
IMPORTANT!
The wallstand is
not
a weight-bearing device.
The vertical height of the receptor is adjustable to facilitate proper positioning.
The tilt feature allows you to tilt the receptor –20° to +90° in order to acquire extremity or special
imaging exams.
Positive beam limitation (automatic collimation) is available at 1 meter (40 inches) and 1.8 meter (72
inches) SID for 0° tilt and 1 meter (40 inches) SID for 90° tilt. Adjustments outside this range require
manual collimation.
Exposures can be made with the receptor tilted from –20° to +90°.
AEC is available at any SID or receptor tilt.
Motorized to enable advanced applications. Refer to
Chapter 13: Advanced Applications
for more
information.
The inherent filtration of the wallstand front panel is less than 0.8 mm of aluminum equivalent at 100
kVp.
Wallstand receptor cover and wallstand chin rest are identified as applied part.
Note:
You should instruct your patient to use the lateral bar and the hand grips when you are position-
ing the patient at the wallstand.
CAUTION
Make sure your patient does not use the wallstand as a support.
CAUTION
If the patient leans on the wallstand with enough force, the locks may release and
the receptor will lower slowly.
