GENERAL CALIBRATION PROCEDURE NOTES
WARNING! The following calibration procedures
involve taking x-ray exposures. All personnel
should be behind the protective barriers. X-rays
can be dangerous unless proper precautions and
procedures are adhered to.
The following notes apply in general to all calibration procedures, including AEC
calibration procedures. Please review these notes prior to performing calibration.
•
The top right button typically is used to advance to the next step of a
particular calibration procedure.
•
Use the button next to the Next Calibrate field to advance to the next
calibration procedure.
•
Use the button next to the Prev Calibrate field to return to the previous
calibration procedure.
•
In calibration procedures having multiple "steps", the last step is indicated
when "Measure, Calibrate" appears in the top right screen field. Pressing
the key next to "Measure, Calibrate" field saves the calibration values.
After saving the calibration values, press either the Next Calibrate key to
proceed with the next calibration procedure or Prev Calibrate key to return
to the previous calibrate procedure.
IMPORTANT! Following a calibration procedure,
unless the "Measure, Calibrate" key is pressed, no
change is made to the currently saved calibration
value(s).
•
The screen always displays the correct KV, MA, time and thickness (in CM)
value required for performing each calibration procedural step. Ensure the
correct values are set prior to performing each procedural step.
•
Throughout AEC calibration, the film/screen being calibrated is displayed on
every AEC calibration screen in the top left field.
•
When calibrating AEC using a wall stand mounted receptor, ensure that the
x-ray beam is perpendicular to image receptor and that the correct ion
chamber detector(s) is selected.
•
Upon completing calibration procedures, it is recommended that Q-Ware
program be used to upload calibration data (and APR technique data if
editing was performed) as a backup in case a problem occurs requiring re-
calibration of the generator. To obtain a copy of the Q-Ware program,
contact Quantum Medical Imaging’s Customer Service Department.
IMPORTANT! Use the same configuration of
bucky, grid, ion chamber and film cassette/screen
that will be used with the "Film/Screen" being
calibrated.
