Preparing the Modality and Acquiring an Exposure

To prepare the modality:
1. Inspect the plate visually for scratches and artifacts.
2. Erase the cassette.
Refer to the documentation of the Digitizer.
3. Prepare the console and the tube with the predefined settings.
Refer to the Workflow Sheets for more information.
4. Center and collimate the positioning template to the tube.
5. If needed, attach the filter in the collimator.
6. Put the cassette on the positioning template.
7. If this is necessary, put the test phantom or Light Field Indicator target on
the cassette.
8. For the Plate Inventory, put the dosimeter next to the positioning template
and register the used dose for each cassette (use the cassette ID number as
present on RF-tag).
Refer to the NX User Manual on how to read the cassette ID number,
section "Read and Initialize Cassettes".
9. Press the Expose button on the console.
The modality exposes the cassette.
10. If a phantom is used, remove it from the cassette.

Note: The dosimeter must be positioned next to the
positioning template in the lightfield, on the same side as
the red dot. If the anode side is the left hand side and the
positioning template is positioned correctly, this must be the
left side.
Note: We recommend to use a reference plate for the ATP/
PQC.
