3. To reselect continuous operation, press the “Pulse” key again. The pulse rates will no longer
display on the status bar.
5.2.5. Low Dose Imaging
Lose dose imaging is to reduce the exposure dose to the patient.
To produce a Low Dose image
1. Press the “Low Dose” key on the C-Arm control panel to enable low dose imaging.
2. Press the related X-Ray switch on the foot/handswitch to make low dose fluoro exposures.
5.2.6. Imaging Mode List
The following list summarizes the modes available on the system. Additionally it shows the X-Ray
techniques available with each mode, the status bar and C-Arm control panel display for each mode, and a
brief list of examples for each mode. The examples are not exhaustive and other uses may be as valid as
the examples shown. The user must be aware of the techniques associated with the various modes and
monitor dose rates and doses for each patient.
 Auto: X-ray techniques (kVp/mA) are adjusted automatically by system to optimize the image.
 Manual: X-ray techniques (kVp/mA) are adjusted manually by user to get the desired image.
The user can select Auto or Manual mode listed in the table below as she/he wants.
