Opdose
Siemens MAMMOMAT 1000 and 3000 Nova are equipped with an
automatic exposure system - Opdose. Opdose suggests the exposure
parameters depending on the thickness of the breast. Both kV
and an anode/ filter combination are suggested in accordance with
what has been preset for the respective thickness interval (see
program table on page 12). That is, the larger the breast the more
the high-energy radiation, which enables the dose and exposure
time to be kept down. The user must confirm the values before an
exposure is made.
Make sure that the
“Auto” button is pressed in.
Position the patient and
apply the compression.
The compression force must
be at least 6 kg for the Opdose
to activate.
