CS 2100 SYSTEM OVERVIEW The CS 2100 is compliant with the requirements of the EEC and international medical standards. The CS 2100 unit has been designed to produce high-quality intraoral radiographies that:
Reveal maximum details with the minimum dose to the patient. Show teeth and anatomic structures accurately with a minimum of distortion or magnification. Have optimal density and contrast to maximize their use for the detection of dental diseases.
The CS 2100 uses a high-frequency technology that allows:
Reduced X-ray doses for patients because the CS 2100 unit emits fewer soft rays absorbed by patients which are not used during image creation. Shorter exposure times which reduce the risk of motion blurr during exposure
The CS 2100 is equipped with a thermal safety system that prevents the generator from overheating in case of intensive use. This prohibits any exposure as long as the generator has not cooled down. The I01 error message appears on the display and an audible beep is heard during the unit cooling period. The beep stops when the cooling period is over. To obtain high-quality intraoral radiography with maximum details, you must be very careful when performing the three steps of the radiography process:
Positioning the patient, the X-ray generator, and the imaging system Setting the exposure parameters according to the imaging receptor used (films, phosphor plates or sensors) Processing the film (if a conventional film is used)
General Overview The CS 2100 unit is composed of the following functional components
A high-frequency X-ray generator which includes:
A transformer and associated electronics, and an oil-bathed X-ray tube A beam-limiting device with the following characteristics: - A radiation diameter of 6 cm (2.36 in.) - A distance from the X-ray tube focal spot to skin of 20 cm (8 in.).
An angle scale and a handle to facilitate positioning.

General Overview
A wall framework which contains the:
Main powerboard ON/OFF switch which contains a built-in LED.
A control timer unit which:
Performs exposure time selection and displays parameters (exposure time and emitted dose). Performs a microprocessor self-test at every unit activation.

CS 2100 RADIOLOGY PROCESS Positioning Positioning the Patient To position the patient, you must have:
The patient sit with the vertical sagittal plane. The patient’s head positioned as follows: For upper maxillary radiography, the Frankfort plane (nose-ear plane) must be horizontal. For lower maxillary radiography, the occlusal plane must be horizontal.
90°
Positioning the X-Ray Generator The scissor arm allows you to accurately position the generator for any type of exposure. The beam-limiting device maintains a distance of at least 20 cm (8 in.) between the focal spot and the skin, which allows you to use either the paralleling or the bisecting technique.
Paralleling technique The positioning tool used in the paralleling technique allows you to align the beam and the imaging receptor. An appropriate collimator reduces the dosage by limiting the surface exposure.
CS 2100 User Guide (SM759)_Ed01
3–1
Exposure
Bisecting technique When using the bisecting technique, do not use a rectangular collimator. This limits the risk of X-ray beam and image receptor misalignment.
90°
Positioning the Imaging Receptor Using the CS 2100, you may create an X-ray image on one of the following imaging receptors:
Conventional silver halide films, such as KODAK dental films. Digital sensors such as RVG sensors. Phosphor plate such as CS Imaging plates. Placing the receptor correctly is critical. Check your own dental radiography manual for information on how to place the imaging receptor correctly. If you do not position the film or the sensor correctly, this results in errors on the radiography, such as distorted teeth and roots, elongation, magnification, and/or overlapping contacts. The paralleling technique generally reduces the risk of such errors. However, if you do not position the system correctly, angulation errors can occur (angulation of the receptor to the tooth itself). If the beam exit pattern is not aligned with the imaging receptor, then part of the radiography will not be exposed to radiation and the final radiography will have some clear (unexposed) areas. This defect is called “cone cuts". The imaging receptor is marked to indicate the tube side. If the orientation is not correct, the resulting radiography is lighter and may show artifacts, such as foil pattern or sensor cable.
Exposure Exposure Parameters Since each receptor (film, phosphor plate or digital sensor) has its own sensitivity to X-ray radiation. the sensor choice impacts the exposure parameters. For instance, the sensitivity class for conventional dental films is characterized with the letter D, E, or F where F is more sensitive than E, and E more sensitive than D. Consequently, the required dose for the correct exposure goes down as sensitivity increases. Due to the different sensitivity of the digital sensors, you also need to adjust the exposure parameters to the used sensor type (film or digital equipment). The CS 2100 allows you to select the exposure times. The exposure times indicated in Tables 3-1 to 3-4 meet the manufacturer’s recommendations. Depending on the used sensor type, you can change the mode by pressing and holding the selection knob for at least three seconds. To set the exposure times, see the Preparing for Image Acquisition section.
