14.2.1 Tomography Direct Technique
QIQ Checking the Tomo Device
For this, the most unfavorable mechanical and electrical tomo and Bucky exposures are
made. Using these exposures, the actual tomo height as well as the differences in the res-
olution power between the Bucky and tomo exposure can be best determined.
For Tilting Units: Move the unit into the 0 position.
Set the central beam perpendicular to the image receptor.
Move the unit into the tomo starting position.
Select tomo (max. tomo angle and min. tomo time, e.g. 1.2 sec. 40).
Description of the Tomo Test Phantom
The test phantom is comprised of a hard plastic foam block with 2 slots and two lead strip
tests.
The two lead strip tests are inserted into the two slots of the hard plastic foam test phantom
so that:
- the notches are facing to the outside
- the lead strip tests do not overlap
- the two notches are positioned at exactly the same height above the tabletop.
The test phantom is placed on the tabletop so that:
- one line test is on the anode side
- one axis of the test phantom is parallel to the table longitudinal axis
There is a difference in height between each of the holes of 2 mm in the line test that is
positioned at an angle of 20. This makes it possible to exactly determine the tomo height
represented on the exposure.

Required: Tomo height display/line light localizer to the scale 111 ... 119 mm

Required: The line light localizer may drift a max. of 3 mm relative to the notch.
Place the line test, centered to the central beam, on the tabletop.

NOTE Indirect technique: The surface of the I.I. input screen is con-
curve. As a result, a reproducible tomo height can be
checked only in the center of the I.I. The following procedure
describes the test for the direct technique, but it can also be
used alternatively in the same manner soweit mglich for the

height. The holes appear at differences of 2 mm in tomo height).

16.2 Inspection and Maintenance
Installing the Cover Panels
Install all cover panels that are not yet installed in the reverse sequence. When doing
this, absolutely connect the ground wire if present.
SIE Performing the Ground Wire Check
Fig. 57: Ground wire check with fixed power connection
Switch off power to the system.
Test procedure:
- Measure between all conductible parts of the system that can be touched and the
ground wire bus rail (e.g. in the generator, power distributor).
Maximum value: 0,2 (Observe country-specific regulations!)
Exception: Accessory rails on the collimator and tabletop.

18.1 MD Image System Magnification Factor and Difference
18.1.1 Table for Calculating the Magnification Factor "m"
If the check was performed using another SID, the magnification factor can be calculated
as shown in the illustrations in the Maintenance Instructions.
18.1.2 Table for Calculating the Permissible Difference
If the check was performed using another SID, calculate the difference as follows:
- Maximum difference = SID / 100 * 1.6
All values in the table correspond to 1.6% of the SID, the values have been rounded off!

Conversion of inches to cm: 1" = 2.54 cm
NOTE The "magnification factor" values must be calculated. Stan-
dard values for different units and SIDs can be found in the
"Magnification Factor" table.
The "maximum difference" values and the size of the "radia-
tion field in the film plane" must be calculated. 1.6% of the
SID. Standard values for different units and SIDs can be
found in the Difference table.
