    20 | Bucky | Bucky Bucky The bucky is installed in the radiographic table and in the radiographic wall stand. The bucky clamps the cassette or detector during exposure and centers them relative to the Automatic Exposure Control (AEC) and the grid. The bucky supports cassettes in standard formats as well as DR Detectors with cassette size format.

  • Page 22: Bucky Configuration

    22 | Bucky | Bucky Bucky configuration Cassette only configuration The workflow with cassettes requires removing the cassette from the bucky after each exposure. The cassette has to be scanned using a digitizer to get the final image. The correct orientation of the cassette is applied by the way it is inserted in the bucky and there is no need to use the rotation mechanism.
  • Page 23: Rotating The Bucky

    Bucky | Bucky | 23 Rotating the bucky The cassette or detector in the bucky can be rotated without removing it from the clamping. To change the orientation of the cassette or detector in the bucky: 1. Open the bucky drawer halfway by pulling the front handle. 2.

  • Page 28: Automatic Cassette Size Sensing

    28 | Bucky | Bucky Automatic Cassette Size Sensing The ACSS functionality of the bucky detects the size and orientation of the CR cassette or the DR detector and allows the collimator to limit the collimated area accordingly. The collimation setting received from the NX workstation or the collimation area set by the user is automatically adjusted.
  • Page 29: Centering And Collimating

    Bucky | Bucky | 29 Centering and collimating Depending on the format of the cassette or detector inside the bucky and the body part to expose, collimation and centering of the X-ray field have to be applied before exposure. Centering The bucky center position is automatically aligned to the position of the X-ray tube stand.
  • Page 30 30 | Bucky | Bucky Any of the above conditions is not true. Collimating To set the X-ray collimation area, pull out the bucky drawer until the cassette or detector edge is visible. Align the X-ray collimation field to the size of the cassette or detector.
