Small Step Wedge Product Details:

Step Wedges are used in Radiology Quality Control Programs to test X-ray machine sensors and phosphor storage plates. Having a Radiology Quality Assurance Program is an important part of radiology compliance.

Texas Dentists: 

In June 2019 Texas x-ray rule 25 TAC §289.232(j)(14) was updated. It now specifies that users of digital imaging acquisition systems shall follow quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC) protocol for digital imaging established by the manufacturer. If a protocol cannot be established by the manufacturer, it shall be developed and implemented by the registrant (dental office).  CLICK HERE FOR MORE TEXAS Specific RADIOLOGY REQUIREMENTS 

How to Perform a Step Wedge Test:

The following steps outline the procedure:

  • Place the step wedge with the steps facing up over a sensor and position the X-ray field over the step wedge.
  • Take an exposure.
  • Record the Date, Sensor Serial #, X-ray machine used, kVp, mA, Exposure time, and Source-to-Image Distance. This information will be necessary to conduct this test in the future.
  • Save this image as the reference image for that X-ray sensor as proof of testing.
  • Remember, you are testing the sensor, not the X-ray machine!

     Once a quarter or any time that you suspect that there may be a problem with your X-ray system, create another image in the same manner as described above. Compare this image to the reference image.

     Step wedge images look like a grayscale image with gradual changes from white/light to black/dark. If you notice a change in density (color) of "2 steps", you are alerted that there is a problem and corrective actions should be taken before your radiographs deteriorate in diagnostic quality.

NOTE: The actual step wedge you receive may not match the picture of the product and/or may have a different number of steps on it. Neither of these affect the testing process. 

Large Step Wedge Product Details:

This product is meant for Panoramic x-ray machines! 

Tired of looking for the stapler you used last time you did a QA check of your Pano? We now have a solution for your pano QA/QC program. The large Step Wedge is specially designed for the pano QA/QC program. While staplers are still allowed, we find that people misplace the stapler or don't realize they need to use the same exact stapler every single time they perform Quality Assurance tests on their pano machines.

Soft, luxurious pillowcases
Color: 03 - Navy, Size: Standard (20" X 26")
Great quality, soft, luxurious material. Love the way these zip up to keep pillow from falling out. The weight of the material is pleasant—somewhat like the bamboo material. The rich navy blue color is beautiful. Great value and very durable.

Nice but stains show
Color: 01 - Grey, Size: Standard (20" X 26")
These are comfortable and love the zipper. That’s why I bought them. I don’t know if I try chewing my pillowcases in my sleep but I got sick of waking up with it half way out. Only complaint is that my oily skin shows pretty well on it. Only time will tell if zipper holds up. I like so far and am keeping these
