GENERAL ADVICE
AEC-detector
In order to obtain the correct density on the images, the AEC
detector should be moved to the densest area in the breast. Move
the AEC-detector lever to the marking, which corresponds with
the marking in the compression plate. Ensure that the breast com-
pletely covers the position of the AEC detector with a 2 cm margin,
otherwise the chamber will be measuring air. Do not forget to
return the detector to the chestwall-close position after each patient.
