2.9 QUANTITATIVE INFORMATION
The following tables show the Quantitative Information associated
to this X-ray System according with the Standard IEC
60601--1--3:2008 and IEC 60601--1--3:2008/AMD1:2013. These
tables illustrate loading factors for image performance and supply
Dose indication examples. Therefore, they are an example of the
adjustment of Loading Factors, Focal Spot Selection, SID and
Collimator opening, which affect to the radiation quality or to the
radiation dose rate applied in normal use.
