1.3 Measurement Setup
The image intensifier’s grid is either in-place or removed in accordance with the clinical protocol being
simulated.
The entrance surface of the image intensifier is
fragile. Additional attention is required if the grid is
removed.
Fasten the phantom to the entrance surface of the image intensifier. (In some cases, the clips on the
phantom will engage slots on the image intensifier assembly.)
Set systems with variable source to image receptor instance (SID) to a standard value (e.g. 100 cm).
Remove extraneous material from the x-ray beam.
The tabletop and /or patient mattress may be in place if desired.
