NON-AEC REPRODUCIBILITY VERIFICATION
1. Set the Dynalyzer (or equivalent) for 75% trigger level on kVp. Ensure that
the meter is set to measure mR.
2. Set the generator Operator Control Panel to Manual mode, 45 kV, 100 milli-
seconds exposure time, Normal Density.
3. Using Table 3-9 below, locate the model number of this generator and set the
Operator Control Panel to the maximum mA setting shown in "SAMPLE 1 mA"
column (large filament), then take 10 consecutive exposures recording the
measured mR values in Non-AEC Reproducibility Data Sheet Table 3-10.
4. After the tenth exposure, select (coefficient of variation) COEFF VAR on Dyn-
alyzer; reading must be less than or equal to 0.05. If a Dynalyzer is not used,
calculate the C.O.V. (coefficient of variation) according to the following:
