Prepare The Examination - AGFA DR 800 User Manual

Prepare the examination

Position the patient and specify the region of interest for the examination:
1. Position the patient on the radiographic table relative to the FLFS overlay
and make sure that the region of interest for the planned examination is
within the range of the overlay.
2. Move the tabletop longitudinally and make sure that the region of interest
is within the travel area of the DR bucky.
3. On the collimator, switch on the light localizer.
If required, collimate in transversal direction.
4. Move the X-ray tube and DR detector in longitudinal direction to the
position that matches the top most position for the examination.
WARNING:
Monitor with special care the patient position (hands, feet,
fingers, etc.) to avoid injury to patient caused by unit
movements. Patient hands must be kept away from mobile
components of the X-Ray device.
WARNING:
Intravenous tubing, catheters and other patient connected
lines should be routed away from moving equipment.
WARNING:
Use always the hand grips to avoid injuries in patient hands
or fingers when the tabletop is in movement. Patient's hands
must be kept far away from the tabletop edges in every
moment.
Instruction: For automatic stitching, the width of the
collimated area must be more than 15 cm.
WARNING:
For setting the positions to define the ROI, the X-ray tube
tilting angle must be at 0°.
