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 mAs value to the indicative value for the uniformity check.
2. Make the exposure.
The DR Calibration Tool may instruct to increase or decrease the mAs
setting to reach the required exposure level.
3. Set the mAs value to the indicative value for the calibration.
4. Make exposures as instructed by the DR Calibration Tool.

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.
