Grid Alignment

Test Tool

GAMMEX 144

 

Improves alignment of the radiographic grid and central ray of the x-ray tube and provides increased image contrast,

 

improved shading in image density, and can reduce unnecessarily increased patient dosage.  Problems can occur when the

 

x-ray tube’s alignment indicators (light/detents) are misadjusted.  Additional problems occur if the x-ray tube is tilted or the

 

grid is installed upside down.

 

The Gammex 144 Grid Alignment Test Tool is designed to test proper grid alignment with respect to the central ray of the x-

ray tube.  Regular quality control testing can help detect misalignments before they present a patient safety issue.
