x-ray machine control panel/console Explanation: Propozycja -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2015-07-02 12:02:55 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- 4. The control panel. Control panel It is a separate unit connected electrically to the X-ray machine (Fig 3-20). It contains meters and switches to select kVp, mA and exposure time. The control panel vary with the type of X-ray machine but most often following components, or some of them exit. On-off switch: It is a main switch to turn the unit 'on'. The switch permits flow of current to the tube at 'on' position and prevents the same at 'off ' position. For the safely of the X-ray tube and also to avoid an accidental exposure, the switch should remain in 'off ' position when machine is not being used. Voltmeter and voltage compensator control: Most X-ray machines are designed to operate on a 220 voltage power source. A voltmeter measures the voltage of electric current and voltage compensator allows adjustment of voltage. In most machines these days such a system is automatic. Kilovoltage selector: It allows precise selection of desired kV. In some machines this control is automatically linked to a certain milliamperage (mA) value. In such a case, a high kVp is available at a relatively low mA and vice versa.http://www.vetmansoura.com/Radiology/X-RayMachine/Machine1.h... |
