Job Card ELE A038 - AOP Mode and SNR Check
Page no. 709 Chapter 7
JC-ELE-A-038.fm
Note:
For AWS AWS Application Software equal to V43.0 or higher:
For the 60 mm acrylic thickness, either 30 kVp or 31 kVp can be selected by the AOP algorithm.
This is normal operation. It is also normal operation that the mAs used with 30 kVp is greater than
the value used with 31 kVp. It is only necessary that the mAs remain within the range given in the
previous table.
If the system fails the test and you have a Gantry CPU Board running NSC 1.2.13 or above, apply Job
Card CAL A049 - Compression Paddle Offset Calibration on page 1711 on the compression paddle that
you used to perform the test. Setting a compression paddle offset may resolve the issue of the failing
test.
If the system continues to fail the test after declaring a paddle offset, the source of the problem must be
identified, and corrective action taken, before any further mammographic images are acquired.
