4.2.2 Operation at vertical X-ray system image receptor stand PROVERT
4.2.2.1 Adjustment of the X-ray unit to the mid of a cassette or Bucky/Grid entity of a X-ray
system image receptor stand (vertical center beam)
• By pressing button 3 or 6 (figure operating unit) the brake for the rotation of the Collimator will be
released.
• Swing the X-ray unit to the X-ray system image receptor stand.
• Set the Bucky, Grid entity on the vertical stand to the size of the patient, see figure vertical carriage.
4.2.2.2 Adjustment of the source to image-receptor distance (SID)
• Release the longitudinal movement brake of the column by pressing button 2 (figure control
handle) and adjust the source to image-receptor distance (SID) which will be used for the exposure.
Notice the focus area of the scanning unit, Bucky and Grid entity. Those settings have to be done
with the measuring tape inside the collimator or with the markings on the upper guidance of the
column.
4.2.2.3 Adjustment of the light-/ radiation field
• By using button 7 (figure operating unit) the button of the brake for adjusting the height will be
released
• Set the collimator to the requested height and align it to the Bucky by using the light-beam
localizer 4 (figure control handle).
• Release Button 7 (figure operating unit) to activate the height-adjustable brake for the collimator.
• By using button 9 (figure Collimator) the light-beam will be activated to control the vent of the
collimator to the used cassette.
• With the adjuster 1 and 7 (figure Collimator) set the lamellas of the Collimator to the size of the
used cassette. The settings will be done on the scale 2 and 8 (figure Collimator) to the according
cassette source to image-receptor distance (SID). So the light-/ radiation field is limited to the
according cassette.
4.2.2.4 Exposure preparation/ release
• Select the used device on the console of the generator (vertical-grid recording device).
• Select the requested organ program or the requested exposure details, and start the exposure by
using the control element for exposure preparation/ release.
