AEC Tracking Calibration:

1. Set the X-ray system, to the following conditions:
 Tube centered to the detector.
 Verify center with the collimator light source.
 Open collimator to 17” x 17” or large enough to cover all AEC cells.
 Verify that the Grid is in its place inside the Bucky.
 Place the 1.5 mm copper absorber in the collimator.
2. Open the Tech Service application.

3. Select Manual Calibration.

8. From the TechService screen, choose AEC; the Film Settings screen appears.
 From the Areas options, select Center.

 From the Film Speed options, select Medium.

 From the Density options, select 0.
9. Take an X-ray exposure and check the average gray level by checking the ROI box in the PrestoDR
Calibration Window and looking at the Average GL field. Note this value. Setting and Calibrating
the PrestoDR System.
10. Take an exposure at 90 KVp check the average gray level in the PrestoDR Calibration Window and
adjust the value of E08 to bring the average gray level as close as possible to that achieved at 70
KVp during the gain calibration. E08 is the slope adjustment.
Note: Increasing from 0 to 1 will decrease the GL at 55 KVp. Decreasing from 0 to 255 will
increase the GL at 55 KVp and have the opposite effect at 90 KV. When returning to the User
Mode after adjusting E08 value you must re-select AEC again before taking another exposure.
11. Repeat the steps until the average gray level at 55 and 90 KVp converge as close as possible to
the gray level achieved at 70KVp (750 and 800 GL).
Note: any adjustments of the value of E08 will affect both 55 and 90 KVp.
12. Take an X-ray at 120 KVp. Check the average gray level is +/- 10% of the value achieved at 70 KVp.
If not within the specified range adjust the value of E08 until the desired gray level is achieved. If
adjustment is required it will affect the 55 KVp calibration point. Repeat step to verify that the
average gray level is +/- 10% of the value achieved at 70 KVp.
Setting DiCom Information:

Acceptance Test
Acceptance Test Procedure
Overview
Following is a Test Report that you are requested to fill out during the installation and calibration processes.
This information is required to record the system status on the day of installation.
The Acceptance Test is required to verify that the installation was performed correctly and that the system is
in nominal (and optimal) conditions.
A soft copy of this document can be found at C:\Util\ Acceptance Test.bat.
Some of the tests are to be carried out during the installation and calibration processes, and some tests are
to be carried out after completion of the process.
Note that at times during the installation and calibration processes you will be referred to the Acceptance
Test form to enter data regarding the test results. This will save time and prevent the repetition of certain
steps.

kVp mA/mSec Absorber SID [cm/Inch] Calibration Correction Grid AEC
60 100mA/50mS None 100/40 “none” No Off
2 Activate the collimator light source and narrow the collimator shutters (in both axes) so that they are inside
the image (to approximately 14”x14” [35cm x 35cm] image area).
Butting lines cross
Shutters
Figure -2- Tube – Bucky - Collimator Orientation Test Example

X- Ray Beam Test

1 Acquire an x- ray image.
2 Check the gray levels in the acquired image by verifying that the lighter pixels are in a circle 
in the center of the image.
If the lighter pixels are not in a circle in the center of the image, adjust the tube according to
the applicable manufacturer’s instructions and repeat the test.
3 When the test is completed, print the image that displays the light when it is centered and 
attach the image to this report.
Tube – Bucky Perpendicularity

1 Set the system values as follows using Tech Service WS-1:
70 100mA/50mS None 100/40 “none” No Off
2 Position the perpendicularity test tool on the bucky center and perform an exposure.
3 Measure the distance between the two center points in the circles of the acquired image.
The distance should be less than 135 pixels (= 20mm/0.148 pixels/mm = 2%SID).
Figure -3 Measure the Distance between the Two Center Points
3.1. Repeat the tests in horizontal orientation. If you encounter a problem you might need to calibrate the
system in such a way that the errors emerging from the bending of the U-arm will be distributed to
vertical and horizontal misalignments so the total error in each position will be within the limitations.
Note
If one or more of the measurements exceeds the limit, adjust the tube position related to the bucky
according to the applicable manufacturer’s instructions and repeat all tests in the section.

Collimator Visible Light Orientation

1 Position four coins on the corners of the shuttered area (using tape) and acquire an x-ray image.
2 Note the image and position the coins at the corners of the image as follows:
 The coins are fully visible.
 There is no light area between the coin and the shutters.
3 Acquire an x-ray image and fine tune the position of the coins until the two conditions described in
step 2 are satisfied.
The example illustrated in the following figure does not meet the two conditions described in step 2:
 The upper coins not fully visible.

 The lower coins are too high relative to the lower shutter
Figure - 4: Incorrect Coin Positioning

4 Activate the collimator light source and verify that the coins are positioned at the corners of the 
illuminated area. See the following figure.
Figure - 5: Correct Coin Positioning
5 If the coins are not correctly positioned in the corners, adjust the light until the required result
is obtained.
Collimator – Bucky Orientation

This test verifies collimator/FPD alignment by using the FPD’s inherent butting lines to measure the alignment.

2 Referring to the figure above, measure the misalignment by calculating the distance (in pixels) between the
shuttered rectangular edge lines and the butting lines cross and enter these values in the following form in
vertical position:
Xup = |XLU - XRU| = ____________ Xdown = |XLD - XRD| = ____________
Xright = |XRU - XRD| = ____________ Xleft = |XLU - XLD| = ____________
Yup = |XLU - XRU| = ____________ Ydown = |XLD - XRD| = ____________
Yright = |XRU - XRD| = ____________ Yleft = |XLU - XLD| = ____________
3 Verify that all the differences (Xup, Xdown, Xright, Xleft, Yup, Ydown, Yright, Yleft) are less than 10
pixels.
4 Adjust the position of the collimator until the required alignment is obtained.
Repeat the tests in horizontal orientation. If you encounter a problem you might need to calibrate the system
in such a way that the errors emerging from the bending of the U-arm will be distributed to vertical and horizontal
misalignments so the total error in each position will be within the limitations.
Xup = |XLU - XRU| = ____________ Xdown = |XLD - XRD| = ____________
Xright = |XRU - XRD| = ____________ Xleft = |XLU - XLD| = ____________
Yup = |XLU - XRU| = ____________ Ydown = |XLD - XRD| = ____________
Yright = |XRU - XRD| = ____________ Yleft = |XLU - XLD| = ____________
