Note
If shadow or white band exists, make sure to select appropriate channel so that the channel could
across shadow or white band.
f. Analysis: If shadow (white band) appears in Sinogram (as shown in following three figures), it means that
there is a high probability that gas bubble exist in tube. When small, bands may not cover all views or look
like streaks across the VVC.
Note
sometimes there is no problem for some air scan data, it is also possible for existing bubble, just
doesn't affect that special scan.

TASK DESCRIPTION
Understand and follow the Safety Guidelines Manual.
1. Preparation:
a. Remove the left side cover from the Gantry.
b. Set the QA Phantom to the phantom holder.
c. Move the cradle to position the phantom at the Detector window.
(This is to protect the Detector by reducing x-ray dose to it during the check procedure)
d. Perform Warm-up scans, if the x-ray tube is cold.
e. Wait five minutes or more following the last scan prior to proceeding to the next step.
2. Set the 5th switch of dip switch S1 to ON on the TGP Board.
(KV & MA display mode on Gantry Display)
3. Perform scans of KV - MA stations specified in Table 1.
Verify that the KV and MA values displayed on the Gantry Display is within the following specifications:
KV: ± 5 kV
MA: ± 20 mA
a. Select Service Menu → Diagnostics → Offline Scan.
b. Select Stationary from ‘Technic - [Scan Type]’.
c. Set the scan parameters according to Table 1.
(KV and MA values are displayed in real-time during an exposure, and ‘0’ is displayed after the exposure is
finished)
4. Set the 5th switch of dip switch S1 to OFF on the TGP Board.
