i really need help with research materials patterning to the light beam diaphragm test as a quality control paramater: its effects and implications. Any help would be so greatly appreciated. 3  out of 3 found this valuable. Do you?

There is something written on light beam alignment testing on wikiradiography here: http://www.wikiradiography.com/page/Simple+Quality+Control+Testing
Scroll down to "Light Beam Diaphragm Alignment Testing"

The American Assoication of Physicists in Medicine (AAPM) published a bit on the topic here: http://www.aapm.org/pubs/reports/rpt_04.pdf , on page 18

A few journal articles on the topic:

Testing coincidence of x-ray and light beam.
Freeman DK.
Med Phys. 1984 Jan-Feb;11(1):78

A device for testing the alignment of the light-beam diaphragm assembly.
Healey T.
Radiography. 1980 Oct;46(550):230-2

This is a manufacturer's website who produces a light field/beam alignment test tool: http://www.jrtassoc.com/medical_physics/radiology/test_tools_radiology/g_collimator_align.html

Is this what you wanted? Or were you looking for something more specific?
