Step 2: select the exposure

In the operator room at the NX workstation:
1. Select the thumbnail for the exposure in the Image Overview pane of the
Examination window.
2. Select CR in the Detector Switch.
3. Select the Modality Position (radiographic table, radiographic wall stand,
free exposure) in the Software Console.
The default X-Ray exposure parameters for the selected exposure are sent
to the modality and displayed on the software console.
The radiographic table or radiographic wall stand lights up in blue,
indicating the selected modality position.
4. Select the subexposure if more than one image is required for the same
cassette.
If an image thumbnail is configured for multiple exposures on a single
cassette, another set of thumbnails is shown in the image detail pane. Now
you have to select one of these thumbnails to send the proper default X-
Ray exposure parameters to the modality for each exposure.

Note: When working in a PACS environment, the preferred
workflow is to have only one image per cassette. This is needed
for optimal use of hanging protocols. However, in particular
cases (e.g. printing sites) it is supported to make more than one
exposure per cassette.
