PATIENT SIZE
The exposure values have been preset at the factory for
each patient size. The preset exposure values are
average values and they are only meant to guide the user.
NOTE
FOR X-RAY UNITS WITH DIMAX SENSOR:
The preset exposure values are optimized for taking
exposures at enhanced resolution (Romexis setting). You
can use lower exposure values when taking exposures at
normal resolution.
NOTE
Always try to minimize the radiation dose to the patient.
The preset exposure values are shown in the following
table.
