Required deliverables include comprehensive ancillary equipment for both mounting options such as table and wall-mounted buckys, grid cassette trays, ionization chambers for automatic exposure control, a vertical wall stand, manual collimator with laser light localizer, shielding report, applications training, and de-installation and disposal of current equipment.
