Questions and Answers

What is the purpose of consulting the X-ray imaging manufacturer regarding the system’s default configuration for calibration?

  • To streamline the testing process and ensure correct data scaling. (correct)
  • To determine the pulse rate for high-output mode.
  • To select the FOV for calibration.
  • To understand how to program every procedure into the system.
  • How does selecting high-output mode impact the pulse rate in the IXE system?

  • It decreases the pulse rate compared to low or normal mode.
  • It maintains a constant pulse rate across all modes.
  • It eliminates the need for pulse rate adjustment.
  • It increases the pulse rate compared to low or normal mode. (correct)
  • What is recommended in selecting procedures for acceptance testing of an IXE system?

  • Avoid selecting any procedures as it can be time-consuming.
  • Select procedures based on the system's primary function. (correct)
  • Choose every available procedure for thorough evaluation.
  • Opt for procedures related to neurological angiography only.
  • Which factor influences the default FOV for calibration in an IXE system?
