All surfaces of Diamond that come into contact with the patient are
smooth and rounded, with no seams or screws. The result is an increase in
patient safety and comfort.
In order to achieve round corners and smooth surfaces in parts of the
Bucky that come into contact with the patient, the cassette is loaded from
either side from the rear end of the Bucky. This means that the front side
of the Bucky has no openings until about 7 cm (with 18x24 cm film) back
from the front edge on either side. When the cassette is inserted into
either opening, it is automatically moved forward to the correct position
at the front edge of the Bucky, ready for exposure. After an exposure the
cassette is automatically moved back again to the opening ready for
removal from either side. The cassette is also moved back automatically
in some error conditions. The motorized cassette movement system
allows manual cassette removal in the event of power failure or system
malfunction.
All Buckies are daylight type (DIN)
cassette. The ProForm Synchro Bucky
consists of a one-part carbon fiber
cover with rounded corners. Buckies
utilize a common grid motor integrated
into the Diamond's C-Arm for both
Bucky sizes.

Diamond PaddleLogic feature enables adjustment of the collimation and
the available AutoPoint detectors separately for each paddle (see the
image below for reference). For a small biopsy paddle the collimation
(gray rectangle) can be adjusted to allow the exposure only to the region
of interest: the coordinate system and the volume available for biopsy.
Also, the AEC detectors allowed for AutoPoint can be limited. Especially
with paddles of small size the detector(s) that is/are completely outside
the metal frame can be blocked out.
Tell your service technician whether you want your Diamond to collimate
according to the paddle or to cassette/paddle types. If the latter one is
selected, then Diamond compares the collimated field sizes of the paddle
and the cassette holder. The smaller one of these two is selected.
