DANGER
The potential of exposure to harmful x-rays exists when this table is in use. The use of adequate x-ray barrier
devices is necessary to provide protection to both the operator and the patient. X-ray barrier devices are recommended
for the patient outside of the intended target area to prevent exposure to scattered radiation from the x-ray generat-
ing source.

Imaging Tables may be used for x-ray imaging where the x-ray generator is located below the
tabletop and the image receptor is located above the tabletop. This is the recommended method. The tables may
also be used for x-ray imaging where the x-ray generator is located above the tabletop and the image receptor is
located below the tabletop. This application will result in greater patient exposure to x-rays. The operator must
weigh this issue with the imaging requirements and patient exposure issues.
•
The Imaging Tables may be used with the x-ray generator above the tabletop and a film cassette located on
the tabletop. (See contraindications regarding film cassette size.)
