3.5.13 Finish Assembling Unit
Dress all cables at the rear of the console with nylon tie wraps. Take the time to replace
any covers or enclosures that may have been previously removed. Check that all of the
machine's safety features (ground wires, emergency stop, etc.) are in place and working
properly. Finally, clean the machine and remove any unwanted packing materials from the
room.
3.5.14 Measure X-Ray Dose To Patient
A radiation dose measurement must be performed at installation time, and should be done
routinely whenever the machine is serviced. This test requires the use of a Victoreen
Model 450P or equivalent measuring device set to measure dose over time (mR/Hr).
Note: The dose measurements must be done with the machine fully assembled and the
table mat in place.
1. Place the meter in the center of the table approximately ½ inch to the right of the
laser crosshair.
2. Click the
Perform Exam
button, create a test patient biography, and select the
Array spine
scan.
3. Set scan length for 9.5 inches and click the
Start scan
button.
4. The meter is now scanned.
5. Observe the scan to verify that the entire chamber of the meter is included in the
scan.
6. Record the result from the meter.
Note: The array spine scan dose should be less than 200µGy (20mrad).
7. Record the highest reading in the service report.
WARNING:
X-rays are generated during this procedure. Keep hands, head and other body parts out
of beam.
