processes pointing towards the head end of the table. The laser crosshair should
be 1.5 inch in from the left end and centered. (Some phantoms will have a target
hole, if not, use a ruler).
If you are using a DXA Quality Control Phantom (aluminum representation of
vertebral bodies that does not resemble real bone, Part Number ASY-01564),
place the phantom on end with the flattening target facing up. Orient the phantom
so the metal edge is to the right (head end) and tissue to the left (foot end) as
viewed from the front of the table. Align the phantom flattening target to the laser
crosshair.
3. Start the X-Ray Survey Utility by selecting Utilities/Service Utilities/X-Ray
Survey (see “X-Ray Survey” on page 9-1 for information on the utility).
4. Set Pulse to 1, High gain to 2, Low gain to 1, X-ray Mode to 3 and Aperture to
7.

11. Use the Scan File Plot utility to check X-ray beam flatness of the QC scan per-
formed in Step 10.
3.5.4 Perform Lateral Alignment Test (A and SL)
Note: This procedure applies to A and SL systems only. Use this procedure to verify
lateral alignment.
This procedure verifies lateral alignment.
1. On the control panel press Center to move the table and C-Arm to the center
position.
2. On the control panel press Laser on the control panel to turn the laser light on.
