DANGER
The potential of exposure to harmful x-rays exists when this table is in use. The use of adequate
x-ray barrier devices is necessary to provide protection to both the operator and the patient. X-ray
barrier devices are recommended for the patient outside of the intended target area to prevent expo-
sure to scattered radiation from the x-ray generating source.
The tabletop has a typical aluminum filtration equivalence of 1.10 mm as measured at 100 kVp and
a half value (HVL) of 3.6 mm. (NOTE: Bariatric Top has a typical aluminum filtration equivalence of
1.50 mm. as measured at 100 kVp and a half value (HVL) of 3.6 mm.)

Imaging Tables may be used for x-ray imaging where the x-ray generator is located
below the tabletop and the image receptor is located above the tabletop. This is the recom-
mended method. The tables may also be used for x-ray imaging where the x-ray generator is
located above the tabletop and the image receptor is located below the tabletop. This applica-
tion will result in greater patient exposure to x-rays. The operator must weigh this issue with the
imaging requirements and patient exposure issues.
• The Imaging Tables may be used with the x-ray generator above the tabletop and a film cas-
sette located on the tabletop. (See contraindications regarding film cassette size.)
• The x-ray generator should never be located above the tabletop when the O

Imaging
Table and the O

Spine Positioning System/Prone Pillow are used together. This type
of use requires that the x-ray generator is located below the tabletop and the imaging intensifier
or film cassette located above the tabletop.
