Discovery QDR Series Technical Manual
4-43
LOT_N = 1718.52 Automatic Low Tissue attenuations values in "raw A/D"
numbers.
These values are used to determine the thickness of a
patient being scanned in an
AP array scan mode. They
are updated whenever a spine
array scan is added to
the QC database (i.e. the daily array QC scan) or in
FSCAL.
ACF = 1.021550 Fact. or F.S. Area Correction Factor for AP Spine and Hip scans
BCF = 1.005450 Fact. or F.S. Bone Correction Factor for AP Spine and Hip scans
SFF = 1.083600 1.095000 Factory Spine Fan Factors
LFF = 0.943000 0.954000 Factory Lateral Fan Factors
HFF = 1.077300 1.120000
1.077300 1.120000
1.077300 1.120000
1.077300 1.120000
Factory Hip Fan Factors
Multiplication factors for BCF & ACF array scans.
These values are the same on all Discovery models.

out of factory range.
