Technical Manual
Check the radiation beam position according to instructions given in section "Checking the soft
tissue filter and the filter positioning light position" on page D-37. If the left side of the radiation
beam is too far left or right the radiation beam must be repositioned.
Check the place of the radiation beam from the scale on the beam alignment tool (Fig. 50, 1).
Screw the cephalostat arm adjusting screw according to the table (Fig. 50, 2, 3).
For example: if the radiation beam extends 3mm passed the "0mm line" (Fig. 50, 1), screw the
adjusting screw about 0.6 turn clockwise.
If the radiation beam does not reach the "0mm line", the screw must be screwed counterclock-
wise according to the same table.
