Cephalometric Acquisition Interface Patient Pane
The Cephalometric Acquisition Interface 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 selected parameters must be based on the age and morphology of the patient.
