1.6 Radiation Protection


Serious unfavorable health effects can result from short term exposure to
high levels of ionizing radiation (such as X-rays) as well as from long term
exposure to low levels. Personnel who operate the DC ELITE™ Wallstand
X-ray System should familiarize themselves with both the short term and
the long term effects of radiation exposure and take appropriate measures
to minimize the amount of radiation to which they are exposed while
performing their duties. Some effects of X-radiation are cumulative, and
may extend over a period of months or years. The best safety rule for X-
ray operators is to avoid exposure to the primary beam at all times.
Ionizing radiation occurs naturally in the environment. It is generated by
astronomical radiation sources such as the sun and the stars, and by the
soil under our feet. The atmosphere filters radiation from astronomical
sources. As a result, the radiation level from these sources is much lower
at sea level than on the summit of high mountains. Radiation generated in
the soil varies greatly from place to place depending on the composition of
the soil. For example, areas rich in granite rock have a higher level of
radiation than other areas.
Any materials placed in the path of the beam absorb natural as well as
man-made radiation, such as the X-rays used in the DC ELITE™
Wallstand X-ray System. Materials with a high atomic number, such as
tungsten, lead, and uranium, absorb X-rays much more effectively than
materials with a low atomic number such as hydrogen, aluminum, or
beryllium. Therefore, lead is used for shielding the radiologist's
workstation in most X-ray facilities, including ones using the DC ELITE™
Wallstand X-ray System. If there are windows in the partition separating
the operator from the patient, these windows are typically glazed with
lead glass and provide effective protection against ionizing radiation.
To minimize dangerous exposure, use movable lead screens,
lead-impregnated gloves, and lead-impregnated aprons. These protective
devices must contain 0.25 millimeter thickness of lead or the equivalent.
Use such protective devices for all operators, observers, and/or servicing
personnel exposed to radiation fields of five or more milli-Roentgens per
hour.
The shielding provided for a typical X-ray facility's operator workstation
is generally quite effective and reduces the residual radiation from
diagnostic X-rays to a level that is comparable to or lower than natural
background radiation. If the operator abandons the protected
environment of the workstation, he or she may be exposed to a
significantly higher level of radiation. For a single exposure this may still
not lead to serious health effects, but repeated carelessness in this regard
may lead to serious consequences.

i-10 Radiation Protection


DC ELITE™ Installation, Operation & Maintenance Manual

Any object in the path of the primary beam produces scattered radiation.
In the absence of proper precautions, scattered radiation can result in a
substantial radiation dose to the operator or any other personnel in the
facility. Moveable screens may be used to shield occupied areas from
scattered radiation.
The X-ray Generator/host system used to power the DC ELITE™
Wallstand X-ray System only produces X-rays when high voltage is
applied to the X-ray tube. When the high voltage is removed, X-ray
emission ceases without delay.

1.8 Radiation Safety

1.8.1 Safety
Everyone associated with X-ray work must be familiar with the
recommendations of the Center for Devices and Radiological Health
(CDRH), the National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST), the
National Council on Radiation Protection (NCRP), and the International
Committee on Radiation Protection (ICRP).
Be sure that all personnel authorized to operate the X-ray system are
familiar with the established regulations of the authorities named above.
All personnel should be monitored to ensure compliance with
recommended procedures.
Current sources of information include:
• National Council on Radiation Protection Report No. 33
(“Medical X-ray and gamma ray Protection for Energies up to
10 MEV-Equipment Design and Use”).
• National Bureau of Standards Handbook No. 76 (“Medical X-ray
Protection up to Three Million Volts”). Refer to NCRP Report No. 33.
• Current recommendations of the International Committee on
Radiation Protection.
Although X-radiation is hazardous, X-ray equipment does not pose any
danger when properly used. Be certain all operating personnel are
properly educated concerning the hazards of radiation. Persons
responsible for the system must understand the safety requirements and
special warnings for X-ray operation. Review this manual and the
manuals for each component in the system to become aware of all safety
and operational requirements.

Warning
Ensure exposure parameters are properly adjusted within safety

Radiation Safety i-13


DC ELITE™ Installation, Operation & Maintenance Manual

1.9 Manufacturer’s Responsibility


Although this equipment incorporates protection against X-radiation
other than the useful beam, practical design does not provide complete
protection. Equipment design does not compel the operator or assistants
to take the necessary precautions; nor does it prevent the possibility of
improper use (authorized or unauthorized persons carelessly, unwisely,
or unknowingly exposing themselves or others to direct or secondary
radiation). Allow only authorized, properly trained personnel to operate
this equipment.
Be certain that all individuals authorized to use the equipment are aware
of the danger of excessive exposure to X-radiation.
This equipment is sold with the understanding that the manufacturer, its
agents, and representatives, do not accept any responsibility for
overexposure of patients or personnel to X-radiation.
Furthermore, the manufacturer does not accept any responsibility for
overexposure of patients or personnel to X-radiation generated by the
equipment used in conjunction with the DC ELITE™ Wallstand
components as a result of poor operating techniques or procedures.
No responsibility is assumed for any unit that has not been serviced and
maintained in accordance with the technical service manual, or which has
been modified or tampered with in any way.

i-14 Manufacturer’s Responsibility


DC ELITE™ Installation, Operation & Maintenance Manual

1.10 Monitoring Personnel


Monitoring personnel to determine the amount of radiation to which they
have been exposed provides a valuable crosscheck to determine whether
or not safety measures are adequate. This crosscheck may reveal
inadequate or improper radiation protection practices and/or serious
radiation exposure situations.
The most effective method of determining whether the existing protective
measures are adequate is the use of instruments to measure the exposure
(in rads). This measurement should be taken at all locations where the
operator, or any portion of the operator’s body, may be inadequately
shielded during exposure. Exposure must never exceed the accepted
tolerable dose.
A frequently used, but less accurate, method of determining the amount of
exposure is placement of film at strategic locations. After a specified
period of time, develop the film to determine the amount of radiation.
Fluorescent screens (used in a darkened room) may also be used to detect
excessive radiation.
A common method of determining whether personnel have been exposed
to excessive radiation is the use of film badges. These are X-ray sensitive
film enclosed in a badge that incorporates metal filters of varying degrees
of transparency to X-ray radiation. Even though this device only measures
the radiation reaching the area of the body on which it is worn, it does
provide an indication of the amount of radiation received.

Monitoring Personnel i-15


DC ELITE™ Installation, Operation & Maintenance Manual

1.11 Radiation Protection Survey


A radiation protection survey must be made by a qualified expert after
every change in equipment or change in operating conditions which
might significantly increase the probability of personnel receiving more
than the maximum permissible dose equivalent.

1.15 Optical fiber components


Some of the equipment built-in into this X-ray system may use optical
fiber cables and connections for signal transmission.

Caution
Fiber optic components are very delicate. Improper handling may
cause costly interruptions in operation of the system.

Warning
To prevent eye damage, never look directly into a fiber optic cable
connector or mating adapter. Never assume laser power is turned
off or the fiber is disconnected at the other end.

Considering the fact that an optical fiber is a strand of glass about the
same diameter as a human hair, fiber optic patch cords and connectors are
remarkably durable. However, careful handling will ensure continued
high performance and long life. Do not pull or kink patch cords, as the
glass strand in the middle might become damaged or broken. Even if the
fiber is not permanently damaged, a sharp bend will cause excessive
signal loss.
Fiber optic cables work by bending the light signal as it travels. But, the
light can only tolerate so much bending. Keep patch cord bend radius no
less than an inch. Never use tie wraps as you would with electrical cables.
If there is need for routing, connecting, and/or disconnecting fiber optic
cables, follow the handling procedures below to minimize the time and
expense associated with broken component fibers.

1.15.1 How to handle fiber optic components


• Wear finger cots or gloves. Your hands may look clean, but dirt and
oils on them can damage the fiber and contaminate connectors.
• Never use the fiber pigtail to pick up or support the weight of the
device. Keep both the device and the optical connector together in
your hand(s)
• The fiber is made of a very pure, expensive glass. Treat it with the
same care that would be used when handling expensive crystal glass.
• Do not allow kinks or knots to develop in the fiber.

i-20 Optical fiber components


DC ELITE™ Installation, Operation & Maintenance Manual

- Carefully work out any tangles-patience will save time and money
- Do not pull on the fiber when kinks or knots are present. Pulling will
only cause knots, kinks, and curls to tighten, increasing the risk of
breakage.
• Always use the correct tools for stripping and cleaving the fiber. It
will save time and reduce breakage caused by scratches.
• Follow all ESD precautions and approved fiber cleaning procedures.
• Always read and comply with the handling instructions on the
shipping container.

2-4 Pre-Installation
DC ELITE™ Installation, Operation & Service Manual

2.2 Establish the center line


There must be a centerline established in order to properly locate, center
and align the wallstand. At this point of the installation, the overhead
crane or the tubestand and x-ray generator installation must be complete
along with a working collimator field light.

2.2.1 Verify collimator and tubestand adjustments


NOTE:
The following must be performed or verified correct before establishing a
centerline. Not performing these items may lead to digital imaging cut-off
and beam alignment discrepancies.

Collimator
Verify the cross-hair pattern of the plastic exit window is centered and
properly positioned. If the cross-hairs need to be adjusted refer to the
collimator service manual for adjustment procedure. Verify the x-ray to
light field congruence. This is a federal regulation and should not exceed
2% of the SID (source – to – image - distance) refer to the collimator service
manual for proper spacing and adjustments.

Tubestand
Ensure the tubestand column is level front to back as well as side to side.
Verify the tubestand bottom rail is properly spaced from the back wall and
is parallel to within 0.25 inches along its entire length. Ensure the tube arm
is level and perpendicular the column. This is to be verified at 0° (beam
pointing down) and especially at 90° (beam pointed to the wallstand). If
this is not set properly difficulties may occur during the tracking
procedure.
In order to establish a common center line for the wallstand, it is essential
the x-ray beam tracks a set point on the receiving wall, and maintains this
point between 40 and 72 inches. This may be the most important and yet
challenging part of a basic x-ray room install. This section may offer
assistance in accomplishing consistent tracking.

Establish the center line 2-5


DC ELITE™ Installation, Operation & Service Manual

2.2.2 Vertical and horizontal tracking of the X-ray beam

Vertical Tracking
This must be performed before horizontal tracking.
With the x-ray beam pointed downward and the collimator light “on”,
release the vertical lock and pull the tube down to the lowest position.
Open both collimator blades to their fully open positions. Mark a spot on
the floor (tape or chalk line) at the point the longitudinal cross hairs of the
collimator projects an image.
Raise the tube throughout its vertical travel and adjust the tube arm until
the longitudinal cross hairs track the marked position on the floor in the
transverse (front to back) direction. This may take a few attempts before
acceptable tracking is achieved. Once vertical tracking is achieved, do not
attempt to re-adjust or adjust during horizontal tracking. Refer to the
tubestand manual to locate adjustments.

Horizontal Tracking
Point the x-ray beam towards the where the wallstand will be installed.
This should be a perfect 90º. Position the tubestand as close as possible to
the where the wallstand will be installed. With the collimator light “on”
and the collimator blades fully open, mark the vertical centerline projected
on the wall. (This should be done with a plumb bob). Move the tubestand
away from the wall as far as practical and monitor the deviation of the
centerline. You will need to repeat this a few times. Adjust the tubearm
until the centerline tracks the common point marked by the plumb bob.
This is your “True” Center-line. Refer to the overhead crane or tubestand
manual for adjustment locations.
