Operation Guidelines:
• A site review should have been performed by a qualified
physicist prior to system installation to ensure proper
equipment layout for safe operation of the system.
• If any changes are made to the equipment layout or
occupancy of adjacent areas, or if there is a significant
increase in patient workload after the original review, re-
evaluation should be performed by a qualified physicist.
• Refer to the Radiation Environment Survey chapter for
specific scatter beam measurements for your system.
1. Click the Preview button under Exposure.
2. On the Volume Preview dialog, click OK to continue.
3. Press the Scan button on the Control Box when prompted to
proceed with the Exposure.
An audible alarm is
sounded and the X-ray ON
light is illuminated during
radiation exposure.
If the Patient position
appears to be correct, then
proceed with the scan. To
ensure good quality, the
image should appear within
a ¼ inch from the front
border of the Preview
screen.
Otherwise, re-position the Patient.
Access Volume Center to improve Front/Back positioning.
The Volume Center slide bar moves the X-ray sensor panel
(Front/Back) which adjusts the horizontal image positioning.
Another Preview scan is recommended after repositioning the
Patient.
Preview scans for both CT and PAN studies are saved
automatically as .jpg files to the study folder location for each
patient. To access preview scans for a patient, right-click the
Preview tab on the Acquisition screen. An output folder opens
that contains all previews for the patient for that day. Saved
previews show the patient’s name, ID, magnification, and DAP
value (when enabled). To access previews from older sessions or
other patients, reconstruct the raw patient scan and right-click on
