STEP 2: Calibration Procedure

Calibration of the CR PRO is required to compensate for any hardware

differences and should be performed at least once a month, depending on

usage. Recommended: A 14x17 inch cassette must be used for calibration. If a

smaller size cassette is used, banding will be apparent at the both sides of

scanned images when a larger cassette is used. Remove any grid that might be

present.

1. Expose Plate to Xray

Note: Expose the cassette on the side without the Radlink Label)

If distance is:

o 72” (measured from bottom of X-ray unit) at 70 Kvp, 30 MAs

o 40” (measured from bottom of X-ray unit) at 70 Kvp, 9 MAs

2. Rotate the cassette 180 degrees and expose with the same technique

used above.

3. Load Cassette Scan

Insert the exposed cassette in the CR Pro machine. (Figure 4)
