14 Chapter 3 Imaging Software Overview
Patient Pane
The Patient pane enables you to choose and select the different patient parameters. The
selected parameters for a patient influences the image quality because:
• The default kV and mA exposure settings are set for the selected patient mode.
• The image is reconstructed according to the patient dental arch morphology.
Selected parameters must be based on the age and morphology (jaw size and bone density)
of the patient.
