Work sequence:
1. Use the film pairs already exposed (C-arm in basic position, C-arm to the right and
C-arm to the left) to evaluate the center deviation.
2. Place the film pairs one on top of the other.
3. Mark the geometric center of the 24 cm x 30 cm film.
4. Mark the geometric center of the radiation field.
5. Calculate the deviation.
C-arm basic position:
C-arm to the left, tube assembly at stop
C-arm to the right, tube assembly at stop
If the deviations are within the given tolerance, no additional tests are necessary.
