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.

Squeaky ball
Color: Large Set of 4
Perfect squeaky ball. Dogs love them. I love that they're durable and their thickness aids their durability. My Great Dane will play alone for hours with a ball.

Great Value Toy
Color: Crinkle Duck (Blue), Size: Large, Color: Crinkle Duck (Blue), Size: Large
This toy has been one of my dog’s absolute favorites. He gets excited every time he sees it and will carry it around the house, toss it in the air, and keep himself entertained for a long time. The shape and texture seem perfect for him, and it quickly became one of his go-to toys over everything else in his basket. What I really like is that it holds up reasonably well for the price. It’s definitely not indestructible, and after a lot of play, it will sometimes start to rip—usually around the feet first since that’s where my dog tends to grab and chew the most. But honestly, considering how affordable it is, I don’t mind replacing it when needed. It’s inexpensive enough that rebuying feels worth it because he genuinely loves it that much. I’d rather keep buying a toy he is obsessed with than spend more on something that just sits untouched. It’s fun, cute, and keeps him happy, which is what matters most. Overall, I’d definitely recommend it for dogs who love plush toys and playful chewing.

Best affordable squeaker toy
Color: Crinkle Chicken (Brown), Size: Large, Color: Crinkle Chicken (Brown), Size: Large
my dog is obsessed with this toy, this has became his new comfort toy and after having this for about four months the legs are falling off but it’s very durable. The squeaker also moved from the head of the chicken to the body of the chicken but that’s after it was played with every single day. I love that it has two squeakers and it’s the perfect toy for my dog.

Beautiful design, perfect quality for seasoned destroyers.
Color: Crinkle Duck (Yellow), Size: Large
Absolutely adorable, excellent quality, I have a couple of monsters whose teeth make any kong toy tremble, I was very concerned whether something as soft and nice would last. So far so good. Good looking and soft and tough at the same time!.
