Execute The Exposure - AGFA DR 800 User Manual

Execute the exposure

In the operator room:
Press the exposure button to execute the examination. Hold the exposure
button pressed until three beeps are heard from the NX Workstation to
indicate that the examination has finished.
Depending on the configuration, the system will perform the series of
exposures starting at the top most position or at the bottom most position.
Together with the auditory signal, messages are displayed on the software
console and on the X-Ray system control panel to indicate that the
examination has finished.
The partial images are sent to the NX workstation.
In the operator room at the NX workstation:
• A green OK mark appears on all thumbnails for which exposures are
going to be made during the examination.
• The image is acquired from the DR detector and displayed in the
thumbnail.
• If collimation is applied, the image is automatically cropped at the
collimation borders.
• The actual X-Ray exposure parameters are sent back from the console
to the NX workstation.
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.
