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.

Good, irritant-free face wash, decent lather
Size: 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
So far so good. My dermatologist recommended this brand as a daily skincare routine, and I think I’ll be using it from now on. I had been using CeraVe for quite some time, and it seemed to work okay, but I like the lather VANICREAM provides. It results in a cleaner feel even if it is a placebo effect. I also prefer the irritant-free formula just because it puts my mind at ease using something without unnecessary ingredients, not because I absolutely need it. Side note: My doc recommended this during a perioral dermatitis flare-up caused by medication. The CeraVe was potentially irritating my skin even more at the time. Otherwise, I would’ve just continued using the CeraVe. This appears to be good for extremely sensitive skin, including dermatitis and acne flares.

Fragrance free, extremely gentle yet effective!!

Fantastic for my sensitive, acne prone aging skin. It is dramatically improving my skin barrier and has limited my skin congestion without causing skin irritation. Completely fragrance free!!

Love this!
Size: 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I’ve been using this cleanser for a little while now, and it’s honestly made such a noticeable difference in my skin. The first thing I saw was how much brighter and more even my skin looked after just a few uses. It gives that clean, fresh feeling without making my face look dull or stripped. I also have pretty sensitive skin, so I’m always nervous trying new products, but this one has been super gentle. It doesn’t cause any irritation, redness, or tightness, which is really important to me. My skin actually feels calm and balanced after using it. The texture of the cleanser itself is really nice too—it’s creamy and smooth, and it feels kind of comforting when you apply it. It glides on easily and rinses off without leaving any weird residue. After washing, my skin feels soft, hydrated, and really clean. Overall, this is one of those products that just feels reliable and soothing, and I genuinely look forward to using it every day.
