Checking the exposure settings
Topics:
• On the NX application
• On a DR Detector that has a status indicator
• On the Software Console
• On the control panel
On the NX application
1. Check if the DR Detector Switch displays the name of the DR Detector
that's being used
2. If a wrong DR Detector is displayed, select the right DR Detector by
clicking the drop down arrow on the DR Detector Switch.
On a DR Detector that has a status indicator
Check if the status of the DR Detector is ready for exposure. If the status is
not ready for exposure, the DR Detector cannot be used for making an
exposure.
On the Software Console
1. Check if the exposure settings displayed on the console are suitable for the
exposure.
If other exposure values are required than those defined in the NX exam,
use the console to overwrite the default defined exposure settings.
2. Check if the status of the DR Detector is ready for exposure.
On the control panel
This indicates that the wireless DR Detector and the X-ray generator are
ready for making an exposure.
CAUTION:
Misalignment of the DR Detector and the X-ray tube causes
unnecessary exposure of the patient to radiation.
WARNING:
Check if the led beacon light lights up green.
