Patient Size
The size of the patient is classified in five categories: Extra Small, Small,
Medium, Large and Extra Large.
Press one of the buttons to select the desired patient size.
In one point mode, the patient size affects the values of kV and density.
In two point mode, the patient size affects the values of kV and mAs.
The default values for adjusting kV and mAs are listed in the following tables.
Depending on the configuration, the default behaviour can be overruled and
the parameters that are affected by the patient size and the actual variation
values can be defined specifically for each exam type.
