Serial Exposure; Dr Detector Orientation - Konica Minolta AeroDR SYSTEM Operation Manual

3.2 Operation of DR Detector

3 .2 .4 Serial exposure

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
IMPORTANT
• DR Detectors capable of serial exposure are: AeroDR
3 1417HD and AeroDR 3 1717HD.
• I/F cables capable of serial exposure are: I/F Cable4
8mD and I/F Cable4 8mU.
• Intelligent Grid cannot be used.
• Please use an X-ray generator and a wall stand/table
dedicated for serial exposure.
• Because the serial exposure images are exposed with
low dosage, it is not guaranteed that these images
have the same image quality as the images exposed
in other method than serial exposure.

1
Perform examination registration with the
image processing controller .
2
Check that this device is ready to expose
images, and then prepare for the expo-
sure .
3
Push the exposure switch of the X-ray de-
vice to perform the exposure .
• By pressing and holding the exposure switch,
serial exposure is performed. Also, by releasing
the exposure switch, X-ray exposure finishes to
exit serial exposure.
• When the exposure is completed, images are
stored in the DR Detector and will then be con-
verted to digital data and sent to the image pro-
cessing controller sequentially.
IMPORTANT •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
• The DR Detector is precision equipment, and there-
fore impact or vibration during radiography or image
transfer may affect the image quality. Be careful
when handling the DR Detector during and immedi-
ately after the exposure.

Check that the exposed image is dis-
played on the image processing control-
ler .

3 .2 .5 DR Detector orientation

Change the orientation of the DR Detector according
to the exposure body part.
Expose with the triangular mark upward when expos-
ing in portrait, and with the triangular mark to the side
when exposing in landscape.

IMPORTANT
• The side with the triangular mark is the exposure sur-
face.
• When exposing the chest, abdomen, and pelvis in
landscape, because the functions to determine the
orientation of the body and to rotate the image au-
tomatically is configured, set the orientation of DR
Detector as follows:
– For wired connection with an I/F cable or wireless
connection, ensure that the orientation of the
triangular mark to the left when performing an
exposure.
– For wired connection with an AeroDR UF cable,
perform an exposure in a direction to which the
AeroDR UF cable can be connected.
• Radiography is not allowed on a subject in a horizon-
tal position when an AeroDR 1717HQ and AeroDR 3
1717HD are used.
