• For required values is referred to the System Reference Manual. However, the values L1 +
L2 and W1 + W2 shall NEVER exceed 2 cm (representing 2% of the SID).
• Note the measured values in Chart below.
• Repeat preceding steps with small focus selected.
Collimator to Focal Spot Alignment (Primary Shutter Cut-Off)
Inspect the four images of the four collimator shutters which form the edges of the x-ray field.
A definitely indistinct edge indicates that the primary shutter, close to the focal spot, is the one
forming the line, rather than the outermost shutter.
To correct the condition, use the four mounting/centering adjustment screws to shift the
collimator in the direction of the indistinct line. Repeat the test film exposure after making the
adjustment.

LIGNMENT
Misalignment of the light field/ X-ray field in either the X (cross table) or Y (long table) direction
must not exceed 2% of the SID. In this case, it would be less than 20 mm (0.80"). If the test film
shows that the light field (shadows of the copper strips) matches the X-ray field (shadow of the
collimator shutters) to within the diameter of one strips and, if the diameter is less than 20 mm
(0.80"), then alignment complies with the regulations.
Greater precision than this is possible. Recommended maximum deviation is one fourth. It is
important the greatest degree of congruency possible is achieved.
If misalignment is detected in both X and Y directions, check the spacing from the focal spot to
the collimator mounting surface is 80 mm (3.14") +/- 1 mm. If spacing needs to be adjusted,
repeat the test film exposure after the adjustment.
If the source flange distance (
SFD ) is correct, but adjustment is still necessary proceed as
follows:
SID = 100 cm (40")
2.0% x 100 cm (40") =
LARGE L1+L2
