Compatibility with Radiographic Generators
KaVo IXS is generally compatible with any dental X-ray unit and generator capable
of supplying the required range of exposure times and doses.
Follow the instructions of the X-ray generator to set the desired dose range.
The radiation of X-ray tubes is controlled by the settings of:
• Exposure time (msec) or pulses
• Voltage (kV or kVp)
• Current (mA)
Some controls allow for the modification of all of the above, some have fixed settings
for current and voltage.
Distance of X-ray Source to Sensor
There is a correlation between the distance of the X-ray source to the sensor and
the dose received by the KaVo IXS sensor. The radiation that reaches the sensor
decreases with the square of the distance. If you double this distance, you receive
only 1/4 of the radiation.
