Use the same procedure as for the normal radiography measurement.
Fluoroscopy and Pulsed Fluoroscopy5.5
For under-table fluoro measurement turn the MPD upside-down. Use the optional
detector rod to be able to put the detector in the cassette holder or on the image
intensifier without risk of hazardous X-ray.
The Position Check should be used to confirm the position of the MPD. When you
select fluoroscopy or pulsed fluoroscopy (as type of measurement) the Barracuda
system automatically changes to continuously updating the display and using the
highest possible sensitivity.
When parameter All... is selected, kVp,
exposure time, and dose rate are measured
and the display is updated approximately
every four seconds.
If dose rate or image intensifier dose rate is selected the MPD or a detector connected
to the EMM module can be used.
