Tube Centering
Grid cutoff often results from poor tube centering. Proper alignment ensures uniform exposure. Centering awareness reduces artifacts. Good technique improves image quality.
SID Control
Incorrect distance increases the risk of grid cutoff. Maintaining proper SID ensures optimal grid performance. Distance control enhances clarity. SID awareness supports accurate imaging.
Grid Tilt Awareness
Tilting the grid relative to the beam causes uneven exposure. Keeping the grid level prevents cutoff. Awareness of tilt improves consistency. Proper handling enhances workflow.
Patient Positioning
Incorrect patient positioning can cause partial grid cutoff. Ensuring proper alignment reduces artifacts. Positioning awareness improves diagnostic accuracy. Good habits support high quality imaging.
