Adjusting Exposure Time
KODAK RVG Digital Radiography Systems User’s Guide (CS4000_en) 2–7
Customizing the Exposure Chart
Table 2–1 provides you with guidelines for exposure
times for an average generator at 70kV and 8mA.
These are approximate values. Adjust the values for
your specific generator.
Adjust the values for your generator:
• If the images are displayed too dark, reduce the
exposure settings.
• If the images are displayed too light, increase the
exposure settings.
Add the values for corrections in the second column of
Table 2–1.
