Abstract

Due to the difficulty in obtaining expected baseline values from the supplier for the performance testing of the Fujifilm FCR Capsula XL computed radiography system, performance test results from the acceptance testing of 42 Capsula systems were reviewed. Guidance ranges are provided for nine system performance tests which can be applied to future testing of calibrated systems.
