Check the following items about the usage conditions of the user and equipment to determine whether or not the I/F box can be used.
- Measuring the setup time of the X-ray equipment
Use a stopwatch to measure the time from when you press the first stage of the hand SW until when the setup for irradiation is completed (the Ready lamp goes on).
Note that there may be two different numbers of the revolutions of the anode depending on the X-ray equipment, so select conditions for high speed revolution (high tube voltage,
large tube current) as the irradiation conditions.
The difference between the numbers of revolutions can be determined by the difference between the setup times (high speed revolution takes longer for setup) or that between the
revolution sounds of the anode (high speed revolution has high revolution sound).
- Checking the maximum irradiation time
Check with the user about the possible maximum irradiation time.
- Determining the maximum accumulation time of images
Perform the following calculation to determine the accumulation time to be set.
Accumulation time = Maximum irradiation time above + Setup time above
Select larger time than the accumulation time above and the selectable minimum time of mode2.
If the selected time is longer than 3.8 seconds, you cannot use the I/F box.
