Senographe DS Gantry and Generator
1-4 Image Receptor
The Image Receptor contains the Digital Detector and associated
components for image acquisition. It is used with a Bucky, which
can be replaced by a Mag Stand for magnification views.
• The Bucky slides into the top of the Image Receptor and sup-
ports the breast during examinations.
Removal: Open the latches on both sides to release the Bucky,
then slide it out.
Insertion: Slide the Bucky into its rails, then close the latches
firmly on both sides.
• For magnification views, remove the Bucky and slide the Mag
stand into the Bucky rails. Close both latches firmly.
Magnification factors are defined in the middle of a 4 cm thick breast, i.e., 2 cm above the Mag stand.
Two Mag stands are available: one for a magnification factor of 1.5 and one for 1.8.
• The Image Receptor is placed as required for correct patient positioning by moving the Arm. The
height of the Bucky breast support surface from the floor is adjustable between about 650 mm
(26 inches) and 1500 mm (59.1 inches) with the Arm in the 0° position.
Note:
Surfaces which contact the breast (e.g., the Bucky, the mag stand, and compression paddles)
must always be kept clean; see Chapter 15 Maintenance.
