mA Generation
Note: These tests may heat the X-ray tube up. Observe all temperature warnings and allow to cool when necessary to avoid
damage to the X-ray tube.
WARNING: Dangerous voltages are present when covers are removed from the C-Arm. These
tests generate X-rays. Take appropriate precautions.
Depending on the type of failure check any of the following:
Filament Test
To test the small and large filaments, perform the following exposures:
1. Take a 70 kV @ 20 mAs film exposure. If the processed film is dark and under-exposed the small filament may be
faulty.
2. Take a 100 kV @ 300 mAs film exposure. If the processed film is dark and under-exposed the large filament may be
faulty.
