CONTROL PANEL
Touch the DEC field on top of the main display to switch
Dynamic Exposure Control (DEC) on or off for the
exposure you are going to take.
Dynamic Exposure Control (DEC) automatically provides
optimal exposure values for each patient during exposure.
This function adjusts the exposure values individually for
each patient based on their anatomic structure and bone
density. Switching DEC on improves the image quality as
the function produces images of more consistent
brightness and contrast.
When DEC is switched on the exposure values will be
automatically adjusted during exposure. The kV value will
be adjusted by max ±4 kV and the mA value will be
adjusted by max +4/-3 mA within the available scale.
Adjusting DEC density
If the images appear to be too bright or too dark, DEC
density can be adjusted on the DEC Settings display
(i25.1).
To adjust DEC density for panoramic exposures touch
either of the Panoramic density arrow fields. DEC density
is expressed in percentage in comparison to DEC
calibration value. The setting can be adjusted between
20% (lower exposure values -> brighter image) and 200%
(higher exposure values -> darker image). The
recommended setting is 100% (default setting).
