14.5 User Quality Control Mode
T
o enable X-ray dose-related constancy tesng, the equipment provides a User Quality Control Mode
(UQCM) to perform X-ray dose-related tests.
UQCM is intended for trained hospital radiaon physicists or service engineers and comprises special
user quality control procedures that are accessible by using a service dongle. This dongle is only made
available by Philips Medical Systems once the user has followed the appropriate training. For more
informaon, see Contacng the Manufacturer (page 348).
In case of failure of the measurements performed under UQCM, contact technical support.
14.6 User Vericaon Test
Perform this procedure to verify system funconality.
1 Test the collimator funcons using uoroscopy and conrm that the X-ray on indicators are on while
X-ray is acve.
For more informaon about X-ray on indicators, see X‐ray On Indicators (page 77).
2 Test the table and the stand movements without using X-ray.
3 Perform the following test using a user-dened phantom for constancy evaluaon.
a Posion the stand in a vercal posion.
b Place the phantom on the table and in the X-ray beam.
c For constancy evaluaon, use a xed source-to-image distance and a consistent choice for eld
of view.
d Perform uoroscopy and check whether the X-ray indicaons are as expected, and that the kV
and mA values are within the expected ranges for the constancy evaluaon.
e Perform a digital cardiac or vascular exposure run and check whether the X-ray indicaons are
as expected, and the kV and mA values are within the expected ranges for the constancy
evaluaon.
