11 SINUS EXPOSURE PROGRAM
All exposure values given in this section are based on
Kodak Ektavision film and Kodak Ektavision screen. If
you are using a different film and screen combination
you may have to adjust these values.
This procedure will produce an exposure of the
maxillary sinus along the plane selected. If the child
mode is selected the width of the exposed area will be
slightly reduced.
Use the chin support for this exposure.
Select the sinus exposure program on the Select
program type display, see section “7.3 Selecting sinus
exposure program” on page 20.
Select the child mode on the main display if the patient
is a child or a very small adult.
