Beam Size Verification (Optional) - KaVo ORTHOPANTOMOGRAPH OP 3D Pro Installation Manual

6 Panoramic and 3D calibrations and adjustments
6.5.4 3D Beam size verification (optional)
This program can be used to verify that the size of the 3D
X-ray beam does not exceed limits defined in IEC 60601-1-
3 and DIN 6868-161, if required by local regulations. The
result of the program only gives information and does not
affect the calibration of the unit. Perform the 3D Col
calibration before using this program (redo the 3D Col if not
done recently, or if it was done with a different driver
version).
The panoramic sensor is used to measure the X-ray beam
dimensions. To have the whole beam visible on the sensor
you may have to adjust the panoramic sensor downwards
(and possibly 3D collimator upwards if the sensor
adjustment is not enough). Should this be the case, re-do
collimator calibrations after beam size verification has been
carried out.
1. Attach the panoramic sensor.
2. Select the 3D Beam Size program.
3. Press Patient Positioning.
4. Take an exposure.
5. The beam dimensions and calibration result are present-
ed in the result image.
