Select the ULD button to take an exposure with a very low
dose. The function can be used to reduce patient
radiation dose for example in orthodontic treatments,
implant planning or follow-up studies.
NOTE
The exposure values will automatically change according
to the selected patient size, image resolution and ULD
setting.
NOTE
Always try to minimize the radiation dose to the patient.
The exposure values have been preset at the factory for
each patient size, image resolution and ULD (Ultra Low
Dose) setting. The preset exposure values are average
values and they are only meant to guide the user.
The preset exposure values are shown in the following
tables.
