Collimation
On modalities that support automatic collimation, the collimation settings are
applied automatically and must be checked by the user.
Ralco collimators may limit the X-ray field. To overrule the limitation, the
collimator must be unlocked using a key and the collimation must be applied
manually.
Exposure Sequence
Procedure:
1. Set the exposure parameters to the indicative value for the exposure level.
2. Make exposures as instructed by the DR Calibration Tool.
Do not initiate a next exposure before the DR Calibration Tool displays the
instruction.
To avoid overheating of the X-ray tube, limit the rate of exposures to two
per minute.
DR Detector Calibration | Calibrating the DR Detector | 23
Remove the grid.
Mount the Agfa calibration filter (Cu 1.5 mm).
Check that there is no additional filtration.
The collimation area should extend at least 1.5
cm on each side of the DR Detector.
Note: If the exposure settings used for a previous calibration are
known, use these settings.
WARNING:
Check if the exposure time of the exposures is less or equal
to 200 ms. If you notice longer exposure times, contact your
local service organization.
