The rail allows you to perform examinations MULTIX Impact with a minimum source-image distance (SID) of 115 cm ELLE and a maximum SID of 265 cm on the Bucky wall stand (BWS). The rail has detents at SIDs of 115 cm, 150 cm, and 180 cm toward the BWS for easier positioning of the system. At a SID of 115 cm, the tube follows the BWS down to a central beam height of 33 cm above the floor when the table is in its lowest position (51.5 cm) and the table top is A moved all the way to the side. For SIDs larger than 115 cm, SIEMENS Healthineers the tube is above the table and loses tracking at 54 cm to the table top. With the table in its lowest position, tracking is lost at a central beam height of 98 cm above the floor. 1 MULTIX Impact is not commercially available in all countries.
