Introduction
This booklet is intended as an application handbook
for use with Siemens MAMMOMAT® 1000 and 3000
Nova.
The booklet contains advice on positioning, instruc-
tions for choice of exposure and proper positioning
of the Automatic Exposure Control (AEC) detector.
There are also instructions on the use of Opcomp®
and Opdose®.
This handbook with helpful hints and directions is
a complement to the operator’s manual. It should
be noted that this is not a textbook and that we
make no claim of complete coverage of the subjects
discussed. The responsibility for medical judge-
ments and directions remains with the attending
physician.
