Problem Prevention and Solutions

positioning or other procedural errors, the system projection geometry
parameters should be checked. Available for the Orthoralix 8500 DDEDEXpan
is a patented image phantom (part no. 4519-124-20471).
A radiograph taken with this phantom will reveal the exact performance of the
system. This can be taken by yourself or the designated service technician.
The image will also provide information necessary for making any required
adjustments. Instructions for the service technician are found in the
Installation Service Manual supplied with the system.
NOTE: In North America, information and assistance can be obtained by
contacting GENDEX Technical Support (phone number is listed on the
back cover). Otherwise contact your local Gendex representative.
Backup Image Patient Data
It is recommended to routinely duplicate image and patient data on a
removable device for a general storage (e.g. removable hard disk, CD-ROM,
etc.). You can use the back-up functions provided in the Microsoft software, or
copy data and images directly on the removable storage device. The back up
schedule should be determined by the volume of images taken (i.e. daily,
weekly).
