Understanding the Imaging
Chain
The imaging chain consists of the following
components:
• Sensor and remote control
• X-ray generator
• Timer
• Computer and monitor
Sensor and Remote Control
The sensor consists of two inseparable parts:
• Sensor
• Remote control
Note
To determine the
exposure time and
create an exposure
time table for your
sensors, see
“Customizing the
Exposure Chart” on
page 2–7.
Note
Because these sensors
are used in the same
manner, this manual
references use of the
size 1 sensor.
