FLUOROSCOPIC BEAM ALIGNMENT DEVICE
Reduces exposure to the patient.
In misaligned fluoroscopic image intensifier systems, the portion of the field
that falls outside the visible area of the image receptor does not contribute to
the useful fluoroscopic image and can result in unnecessary exposure to the
patient.
If corrective measures are required, this device will provide a measurement
of
optimum beam alignment. It consists of an aluminum plate with four sliding
brass
strips set in recessed channels. The strips define the visible area of the image
receptor and are adjustable with respect to the center of the measurement plate.
A transparent plastic overlay on the aluminum plate prevents the vertical
displacement of the brass strips. Holes drilled at 1/2" intervals through the
center of each channel are filled
with high density plugs. The visibility of the plugs in the fluoroscopic image
permits their use as a means of centering the device.
