-X-RAY BEAM ALIGNMENT WITH
LONG AXIS OF X-RAY TABLE TOP
-X-RAY TABLE TOP/ HORIZONTAL ARM/ -CROSSARM TEST
-TEST FOR GRIDS (UNIFORMITY)
21 Obj. - To check if the axis of the x-ray beams is perpendicular to the x-ray table top or to the plane of the image receptor and centered over the [..] when the x-ray tube is [..] in its [..] for over-the table radiography.

1. Check first the [..] of the [..] field with the [..] field.
2. Switch on the [..].
3. Bring the tube [..] to table level. Adjust the position of the tube so that the center of the [..] is at the center of the table.
4. Move the tube [..] to the top of the
[..], making sure that the center of the
illuminated remains at the center of the
table. If the illuminated area [..] from the
center beam at the table, it is not aligned.
5. Move the [..] along the table and
repeat the same procedure if the illuminated
area is centered correctly at [..], it indicates that the tube column (support) rack is [..] to the table top.

22- vertical column- [HCR]
1. Hold the string’s end against the table column making sure that the string is hanging [..].
2. Check whether the column is [..] to the string.
3. Repeat the same procedure with the string held at the [..] of the [..] from the [..]. Check the column against the string.

Large diameter bowl or bucket -(5) cm depth of water meter rule.
If the horizontal arm is parallel with table then it is congruent.
22- HA [PMC]
1. Place the [..] of water on top of x-ray table.
2. Measure the [..] of water around the [..] of the bowl. If the table is [..], the depth of water will [..] the bowl.
3. Check from the [..] with the same procedure.

Measure the distance between the [..] and the table top in [..] of the cross arm and from the [..] . The arm is [..] if the distance is the same from both ends.

23 A -Test for Grid Fitted In a Bucky Tray
1.Place the cassette inside the bucky tray.
2.Place the [..] on the cassette to
indicate the [..] on the cassette tray.
3.Center the x-ray tube to the center of the table and bucky tray using the normal Source-Image-Distance (100cm) with the grid in [..], make an exposure.
4. Process the film the usual way
