8.7.1 Anatomic exposure
Select the type of patient with the Adult/Child icons. If child option is selected, exposure
parameters are lower respect to the corresponding adult programs. In addition, the
exam trajectory in panoramic programs is reduced of about 10%.
Select the type of build with the Size icons (small - medium - large).
On the basis of these selections, the display will show the kV and mA settings
accordingly.
Select the type of biting with the icon "Type of Biting Selection" (option available in
Panoramic mode only).
Note
The exam parameters set as the default are values to be taken as the starting
point. Users can optimise the parameters according to their needs.
Note
The type of biting does not affect the kV and mA values, but it affects the
position of the focus layer, by adapting rotation movement to the patient's
anatomy.
8.7.2 Manual exposure
If the pre-set kV and mA pairs are not considered suitable for a specific exam, new
parameters can be set in manual mode.
To modify the kV or mA values, press any of the up or down cursors of the KV or mA
parameters.
A parameter can be modified by pressing the increase key and the decrease key of the
parameter repeatedly.
The kV value can vary between 60 and 70 kV, with 2 kV steps.
The mA value can vary between 2 and 7.1 mA according to the r20 scale.
