Adjusting Exposure Time
2–6 Getting Started
Using the Dose Indicator
Use the dose indicator to help you correctly determine
the exposure time for your generator. For each image
taken with a sensor, the dose indicator is displayed at
the bottom of the
Control Panel window. Use the dose
indicator to observe the quality of the image exposure.
Dose Indicator
• If the dose indicator band is displayed in red
and towards the left of the band, it indicates an
under-exposure of the image. Increase the x-ray
dose.
• If the dose indicator band is displayed in red and
towards the right of the band, it indicates an
over-exposure of the image. Decrease the x-ray
dose. Certain areas of the image can be saturated,
but depending on the areas of interest in the image,
the image can nevertheless contain desired
information, for instance in the areas that are
denser.
• If the dose indicator band is displayed in green and
anywhere in the middle of the band, it indicates a
correct exposure of the image.
