Releasing the exposure
❏ Release the exposure with the exposure release button in the system remote
control console or via the foot switch in the control room, or table-side (op-
tion).
❏ The radiation ON indicators must light up briefly during the exposure.
Radiation interruption If you let go of the exposure release button during radiation, the exposure is in-
terrupted immediately in single exposure, in serialography the last exposure is
still exposed correctly.
If a DSA series is interrupted before exposing the mask, then the first image is
used as mask. The series is then displayed native.
Exposure end In single exposure only one image is exposed, even if the exposure release but-
ton continues to be pressed.
In serialography, letting the exposure release button go, a full image memory or
reaching the programmed maximum scene time ends the exposure series.
The DSA series is ended and the DSA image from the middle of the series is dis-
played if you let the exposure release button go.
You start a new DSA exposure series by pressing the exposure release button
again.
In DSA exposures The system switches automatically to subtraction after a predetermined number
of images (e.g. 2).
The point in time at which the contrast medium should be injected must be se-
lected depending on the examination.
Organ programs
All parameters necessary for the exposure are stored in organ programs.
➩ Refer to the FLUOROSPOT Compact and POLYDOROS SX operating instruc-
tions for further details on the organ programs and their programming.
Warning
If these radiation ON indicators light up although no switch has been actuated
and the current fluoroscopic image cannot be seen on the monitor:
◆ Switch the generator off immediately!
◆ Notify the SIEMENS Uptime Service.
◆ Discontinue operation of the system.
