Preparing The Exposure - AGFA DR 100e User Manual

Preparing the exposure

1. Check the position of the X-ray unit and the patient.
If there is a chance that the detector comes in contact with liquids (bodily
fluids, disinfectants,...), the DR Detector must be wrapped in a protective
plastic bag while performing the examination.
• If a filter is used, mount the filter to the collimator.
• If a grid is used, attach the grid to the detector.
2. Switch on the light localizer on the collimator. Adapt collimation if
required.

WARNING:
Liquids ingressing the DR Detector may cause malfunction
and contamination.
CAUTION:
Misalignment of the DR Detector and the X-ray tube causes
unnecessary exposure of the patient to radiation.
