Touch the Resolution field to set the image resolution to
Normal, High, Low dose or HD (High Definition). Note that
the available options depend on the selected program
type.
Selecting normal image resolution will create 3D images
with smaller file size. Selecting high image resolution will
create sharper 3D images which require more storage
space.
Selecting Low dose will reduce the exposure values and
minimize the radiation dose to the patient.
Selecting HD (High Definition) will provide better image
quality, particularly when imaging small targets (e.g. ear
bones).
NOTE The exposure values will automatically change to
correspond with the selected patient size and image
resolution.

The X-ray unit offers two patient entry positions: Entry 1
and Entry 2. You can use either of them according to your
individual preference.
Selecting Go Entry 1 will move the C-arm to the back,
away from the patient positioning area. This full view
position allows you to monitor and adjust the patient's
position freely from all directions.
Selecting Go Entry 2 will position the C-arm around the
patient support. This is the traditional closed patient entry
position.
NOTE If needed, the Go Entry 1 function can be disabled as
described in section "Behavioural preferences (i230)"
on page 30. This might be necessary if there is no
space for the C-arm to move back.
