4.10 Detector Flattening
This procedure flattens the X-ray beam for each scan mode and finds the metal edge of the
table.
Note: All covers, table mat, etc., normally in the X-ray path, MUST be on the Scanner
before running Beam Flattening.
1. Restart the Discovery software in service mode (if not already). Press the
Center
Table
button and turn on the laser.
2. If you are using an Anthropomorphic Spine Phantom (resembles vertebral bod-
ies, Part Number 030-1967), place the phantom on end (vertical) with the spinal
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, Part Number ASY-01564), place the phantom on its 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.
5. For Display, click Graph.
6. Click X-Rays (F2) to turn X-Rays on.
WARNING:
X-rays are being generated during this procedure. Keep hands, head and other body
parts out of beam.
