Executing the exposure
1. Take a safe distance from the X-ray tube.
2. On the handswitch or on the remote control, press the exposure button to
execute the exposure.
The exposure is sent to NX.
In NX:
• While the acquisition is ongoing, the X-ray on indicator is displayed on the
software console. The led beacon light lights up yellow.
• The image is acquired from the DR Detector and displayed in the
thumbnail.
• The software console disappears.
• If collimation is applied, the image is automatically cropped at the
collimation borders.
• The actual X-ray exposure parameters are shown in the Image Detail pane.
Performing a quality control
In NX:
1. Select the image on which quality control is to be performed.
2. Prepare the image for diagnosis by using e.g. L/R markers or annotations.
3. If the image is OK, send the image to a hardcopy printer and/or PACS
(Picture Archiving and Communication System).

CAUTION:
Excessive user or operator radiation exposure. Always keep a
distance of at least 2 meters from the focal spot and X-ray
beam, protect body and do not expose hands, arms or other
parts of the body to the primary beam.
WARNING:
During exposure ionizing radiation is emitted by the X-ray
system. To indicate the presence of ionizing radiation, the
radiation indicator on the control console lights up.
CAUTION:
Do not select another thumbnail until the preview image is
visible in the active thumbnail. The acquired image may be
linked to the wrong exposure.
Note: If you use a wired network, NX can only send images if
the network cable is plugged in.
