Exposure Points
Siemens Exposure Points Table
The table shows how the kV and mAs values translates into exposure points. The
exposure point system is used to easily manipulate film density and contrast.
For example:
Increasing the exposure points one step will yield 25% increased film density.
Increasing the exposure points one step with mAs and decreasing it one step
with kV will yield higher contrast but the same density.
