CHAPTER 1

Description 1

Overview Purpose of Program-X Program-X is an anatomic programmer, compatible with the MPG or MPH Generators. It provides the operator with a means of storing expertise in the form of recorded exam protocols. These protocols contain optimized radiography and fluoroscopy parameters for given exams. -

Program-X increases the return on investment on the installation as follows: –

Number of manipulations required prior to each exposure is significantly reduced,

–

Possibility of error is minimal,

–

Results are much more consistent,

–

Exams always run the same way, irrespective of a change of operator.

Terms in italics are defined in the Glossary-Chapter 3.

Description

1–1

-

Program-X is easy to learn: –

1

Operator training courses are short and simple.

User-Friendly Program-X -

Program-X is operational once switched on. The Program-X memory contains prerecorded protocols for all standard exams. These protocols are re-classified by anatomy names which are divided into 10 Categories.

-

Chapter 4 contains the list of the prerecorded protocols.

-

The prerecorded protocols may be operator-modified in a simple and logical way. This modification may range from anatomy names to the rad parameters, to obtain a customized Program-X.

-

It is always possible to provisionally modify the parameters with Program-X during an exam.

Terms in italics are defined in the Glossary-Chapter 3.
