from the wall where the Wall Bucky Stand is installed to the first drilling
hole of the Column Base. Otherwise keep in mind the length of the Wall
Spacer or Support to increase the reference distance. (Refer to
Illustration 3 ).

• The minimum distance from the Column Base to its parallel wall is
variable depending on the room size.

• For Wall Bucky/ Wall Support positioning, a good reference is to

install it at 1021 mm from the transverse axis of the Wall Bucky to the
Column Base Back Wall for Non Telescopic Column Arm, (Refer to
Illustration 3) and 1215 mm for Telescopic Column Arm (Refer to
Illustration 3).

• For Table positioning, a good reference is to install it at 748 mm from

the longitudinal Axis of the Table Bucky to the Column Base Back Wall
for Non Telescopic Column Arm, (Refer to Illustration 3) and 942 mm for
Telescopic Column Arm (Refer to Illustration 3).

7. Load Cassette film Tray with cassette film 24x30 and insert it.

8. Make an exposure at 60 kVp / 5 mAs.

9. Process film and:

a. Check that the X-ray Field falls just within the image of the inner
rectangle of the Collimator Test Tool.

If an edge of the X-ray Field falls out of the inner rectangle means
a misalignment of the Light Field respect to the X-ray Field. The
maximum misalignment allowed is 2 % of SID (for SID 1m = 2 cm
tolerance).

Refer to Section 5.2.1 for alignment of Light Field with X-ray Field.

32
GE Medical Systems Proteus XR/e
REV 2 sm 2401594--100

b. Check that the X-ray Beam is perpendicular to the plane of the

Image Receptor. If the Image receptor is parallel to the Table-Top,
the perpendicularity of the X-ray Beam can be checked using the
Beam Alignment Test Tool with the Collimator Test Tool.

Based on next illustration, the criteria for SID at 1 meter is:

-- If the image of the two balls overlap (A) the X-ray Beam is
perpendicular to within 0.5o.

-- If the image of the top ball (larger shadow) intercepts the first
circle (B), the X-ray Beam is about 1.5o away from the
perpendicular.

-- If the image of the top ball (larger shadow) intercepts the second
circle (C), the X-ray Beam is about 3o away from the perpendicular.

In cases (A) and (B) perpendicularity is within tolerance for SID at

1 meter (top ball is within or intercepting the first circle). The third
case (C) needs readjustment.

Refer to Section 5.2.2 for perpendicularity adjustment.

A B C

c. Check that the X-ray Beam is properly centered with the Image
Receptor. To determine the center of the Image Receptor, draw
diagonal lines from corner to corner of the X-ray Film. (Alternately,
the film can be folded in half and creased at the center). The two
lines will cross in the center of the Image Receptor (film). Then
draw diagonal lines from the corners of the imaged X-ray Field.

If the center of the X-ray Field and Image Receptor is the same,
the diagonals of both sets of lines should cross at the same point.
The maximum misalignment allowed is 2 % of SID (for SID 1m =
2 cm tolerance).

Refer to Section 5.2.3 for centering of X-ray Field and Image

Receptor.

5.2.2 PERPENDICULARITY ADJUSTMENT OF X-RAY BEAM WITH IMAGE RECEPTOR

In case that perpendicularity is out of tolerance (top ball is out of first circle),
adjust perpendicularity as follows:

1. Place the Tube-Collimator Assembly perfectly centered with the

Horizontal Bucky (use the mark at Bucky Tray Handle as reference for
centering). Check with a level correct horizontal position of
Tube-Collimator Assembly and Table-Top.

2. Place SID at 1 meter.

3. Position the Collimator Test Tool (RMI model 161B) on the Table-Top.

4. Turn on Collimator light and by means of the Collimator Control Knobs,

center the Collimator Test Tool with the light axes projected by the
Collimator Lamp.

5. Place centered the Beam Alignment Test Tool (RMI model 162A) on the
Collimator Test Tool (fix the Test Tool with adhesive or another product).
Turn on Collimator light and observe if shadow of the Beam Alignment
Test Tool is projected in equal proportion around it.

6. Check on the processed film the adjustment required to center the top
ball mark. Shadow around the Beam Alignment Test Tool can also help
to make a first correction.

7. Loosen slightly the four Safety Screws (M6) at the rear side of the
Coupling Plate (Tube-Collimator Assembly). Then loosen or tighten the
two rods (Allen M5) to adjust horizontally the Tube-Collimator Assembly
with reference to the Horizontal Bucky. (Refer to Illustration 16).

If horizontal deviation is considerable, loose the two Safety Screws of the

Arm, perform the horizontal adjustment and tighten the two Safety
Screws again.

Vertical adjustment is not required because the Tube-Collimator

Assembly can be placed at any vertical position.

8. Repeat exposure and procedure until the result is satisfactory (top ball
must be inside of the first circle).
