Acquiring Single Image Using RVG 142, RVG 5200 & RVG 6200
To acquire a single image using RVG 142, RVG 5200 and RVG 6200, follow these steps:
- Tell the patient to remain still.
- Position yourself either two meters behind the X-ray source or outside the door.
 |
IMPORTANT: Make sure you can keep visual contact with the patient during the X-ray. |
- In the Dental Imaging Software toolbar, make sure that the
icon is displayed indicating that the RVG sensor is connected to the workstation and is ready for acquisition.
- Trigger the X-ray with the remote control of the X-ray source.
The image is immediately displayed in the Imaging Window (Dental Imaging Software).
- Check the image and if the quality is:
- Not satisfactory, for example, if the exposure quality indicator is red, retake the X-ray.
- Satisfactory, remove the X-ray source tube head.
Ideal image quality is achieved when the Control Panel exposure indicator is a full green bar. This example shows the RVG 6200 Control Panel with exposure indicator (A). Avoid under-exposed or over-exposed images indicated by a partial or full red bar:

- Remove the RVG sensor from the mouth of the patient.
- Remove the hygienic sensor protection and throw it away.
 |
IMPORTANT: Do NOT pull the RVG sensor by its cable when you remove the hygienic protection. |
- Clean and disinfect the RVG sensor after each patient (see the RVG 142, RVG 5200 and RVG 6200 Safety, Regulatory, and Technical Specifications User Guide (SM847)).
- If required, use the CS Adapt Library software in CS Imaging Software to manage the sensor brightness/contrast filters (RVG 6200 only) as follows:
- Create custom filters by copying and editing existing factory preset filters.
- Use the Favorite function to select which filters are displayed in the Control Panel.
- Use the Acquisition Default function to automatically apply the selected filter at acquisition time.
- Import or export filter libraries.
