NOTE
The exposure values will automatically change according to the selected
patient size and imaging mode.
6.7 Adjusting exposure values for current exposure
The exposure values have been preset at the factory for each patient size.
The preset exposure values are average values and they are only meant to
guide the user.
NOTE
FOR X-RAY UNITS WITH DIMAX SENSOR:
The preset exposure values are optimised for taking exposures at enhanced
resolution (Romexis setting). You can use lower exposure values when
taking exposures at normal resolution.
NOTE
Always try to minimise the radiation dose to the patient.
The preset exposure values are shown in the following table.
