Automatic Exposure Control with DR 18M

The DR 18M detector is not fully compliant with the specifications in ISO 4090
with regard to positioning of the automatic exposure control (AEC) dose-
measuring cells in the X-ray modality. Internal electronic parts of the detector
may cover part of the AEC cells.
During installation a test is performed to determine which AEC cells can be
activated when using the DR 18M detector.
The user is responsible to select the proper AEC cells when performing an
examination.

WARNING:
Incorrect dose or interrupted exposure in case of complete or
partly blockage of the AEC cells. AEC cells control the X-ray
exposures. Please be aware that some of the AEC cells may be
covered by electronics.
