Example Screening Procedure
2.3 How to Acquire the Exposure
1. Confirm that all exposure factors are set correctly.
2. If the system does not display Ready in 30 seconds, verify that the accessories are
correctly installed and the paddle is locked into position. When the generator status
displays Ready, the system is ready for exposure.
WARNING! This x-ray system can be dangerous to the patient and the
user. Always follow the safety precautions for x-ray
exposures.
3. Press and hold the x-ray buttons for the complete exposure. During the exposure, a
System Message, a tone, and the x-ray indicator on the control panel indicate an
exposure is in progress.
4. Release the compression device. If the automatic release feature is set, the compression
device automatically lifts after the exposure.
2.4 How to Automatically Store the Image
1. Confirm the patient position and the exposure level.
2. Accept, Reject, or Pend the image.
• You can Accept the image. Wait for the image to appear as a thumbnail image on
the Procedure screen. The image transmits to the output device.
• If there are image problems, you can Reject the image and you must enter the
reason. The system automatically adds another icon for the same view. Repeat the
exposure.
• You can Pend the image. The image saves for future review.
The selection to send the image to the Output Devices at the close of the patient or when
accepted is service-configurable.
2.5 How to Accept a Rejected Image
If a rejected image is better than the new image, you can retrieve and use the old image.
Select the thumbnail image on the Procedure screen to repreview the image, then Accept
the image.
2.6 How to Accept or Reject a Pended Image
To accept or reject a Pended image, select the Pended thumbnail image, then select the
Accept button or the Reject button.
