Parameters and Ranges
Parameters Range
kVp From 40 kVp to 150 kVp on 1 kVp steps.
mA From 10 mA to 650 mA through the following mA stations:
10, 12.5, 16, 20, 25, 32, 40, 50, 65, 80, 100, 125, 160, 200, 250, 320, 400, 500, 650.
mAs Product of mA x Time values from 0.1 mAs to 520 mAs.
Exposure Time From 1 millisecond to 2 seconds through the following time stations:
Milliseconds: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 16, 20, 25, 32, 40, 50, 65, 80,
100, 125, 160, 200, 250, 320, 400, 500, 650, 800.
Seconds: 1, 1.25, 1.6, 2.
AEC
mAs: 0.1 mAs to 512 mAs
Exposure time: Nominal shortest irradiation time = 1 ms.
Selectable factors: kVp and mA both have the same range as non-AEC mode.
Changes in selectable factors will affect the exposure time and mAs.
