KDR AU DDR Component Descripons
Figure Number Component Description
6 Posioner Posions the X-ray tube and imaging receptor.
6.1 Posioner – control panel User interface for the KDR AU DDR system and
posioner.
6.2 Posioner – remote Movements remote control.
7 Collimator Collimates (focuses) the X-ray beam from the X-ray
tube. It uses an LED to mark the radiated area.
8 DAP Meter (oponal) Measures the dose of radiaon exing the colli-
mator.
9 X-Ray Tube The tube produces an X-ray when a high voltage
from the generator is applied. The tube assembly
shields the X-ray except for the exposure window
(where it mounts to the collimator).
10 Flat Panel Detector (FPD) Converts X-ray informaon to a digital image.
11 Automac Exposure Control
(AEC)
Provides image density control by feeding back
dose informaon to the generator.
12 Grid Reduces the amount of scaer radiaon reaching
the at panel detector (FPD).
13 High Voltage Cables Connect the X-ray tube to the generator.
