The Glowboard^TM Scintillator Alignment Tool measures the alignment between the x-ray field and the light field.  The rare-earth phosphor will glow green while exposed to radiation. Misalignment of the light field will clearly be shown down to 0.1 inch on the built in lead-free radiopaque scales.

The 8" x-ray visible scale with -4" to 4" identified horizontally and vertically on the x- and y-axis.  Quadrants are marked A, B, C, D and 1, 2, 3, 4 respectively.

Any portion of the fluoroscopic field of view that falls outside the image receptor does not contribute to a useful image and can lead to unnecessary exposure to the patient.  This simple alignment tool will help the operator identify a misaligned fluoroscopic system.

The Glowboard^TM is convenient to carry with your x-ray field testing tools.

Dimensions: 9.5” x  9.5” x 0.5”

Alternate Uses:  The Glowboard^TM may also be used for checking the light field alignment and centering of the bucky tray.

Is the x-ray radiation where it is supposed to be?  The Glowboard^TM helps to answer this question.  When viewing the Glowboard^TM while it is being irradiated, the technician can see where the radiation coming from the x-ray machine is hitting the board. 

Is the x-ray field aligned with the light field?  The Glowboard^TM fluoresces green when it is being irradiated.  The x-ray visible scale on the Glowboard^TM provides a reference to the technician when comparing the area visible on x-ray versus what is glowing on the Glowboard^TM.
