Installation
The following table shows the standard values for the exposure time and the dose area product of a
PSP for a pediatric patient
Children are more sensitive to radiation than adults Keep the exposure parameters as low as
possible taking into consideration the image quality Refer also to the FDA information on pedi-
atric X-ray imaging

Check and adjust the specific X-ray unit in accordance with the standard values
i
Extraoral X-ray units
Most extraoral X-ray units can be operated using the same settings as for analog films The sensitivity
of the image plate scanner has been optimized for class 200 film-foil system
Set the X-ray unit to sensitivity class 200 (film-foil system)
i
If the X-ray unit does not use sensitivity class 200 (film-foil system), adapt the sensitivity of the im-
i
age plate scanner using the HV-settings
Consult with Air Techniques for the exact settings
If deviations occur (see "141 Poor X-ray image"), adapt the image plate scanner to the X-ray unit
i
(e g HV-setting, scanning mode)
8.4 Commissioning tests
The required tests (eg acceptance test) must be done in accordance with local rules and regula-
tions
Find out which tests are required
i
Carry out testing in accordance with local rules and regulations
i
Electrical safety checks
Carry out the electrical safety check according to national law (e g in accordance with IEC 62353)
