2.3.1 Starting Exposure

NOTE: Never press the exposure button on the x-ray generator while you are
performing operations from the operation unit.
This may result in freezing the system, and data may be lost.
NOTE: Never press the exposure button on the x-ray generator when "READY" is not
indicated in the message area.
NOTE: After x-ray exposure, do not enter patient data from the operation unit or from
an external device until the exposure screen, preview image screen,
magnified image screen, or QA mode screen is displayed.
Doing so may result in freezing the system, and data may be lost.
NOTE: If the grid unit is detachable, make sure the patient does not remove it from
the sensor unit during exposure.

Position the patient.
Position the patient such that the area to be imaged is within the exposure area of the
sensor unit.
As necessary, take a means to keep the patient still.
2
Press the exposure button.
Press the exposure button of the x-ray generator when the patient is correctly positioned
and "READY" is displayed on the touchscreen.
A progress bar will be displayed in the message area, and the image will be transferred
from the sensor unit.
Operation buffer function
If using sensor unit which has a direct Ethernet connection to a PC, when the sensor
unit button, [END STUDY] or [SEND] is touched while the progress bar is displayed
in the message area, that operation will be executed after the image has been
completely transferred. In this case, the progress bar will be displayed in the center of
the screen.
However, when the exposure mode, [PATIENT] or [CHANGE] is touched while the
progress bar is displayed in the message area, these operations can be performed as
usual.
