The values indicated in the table above can vary from one generator to another. It is the responsibility of
each user to calibrate his/her doses before use.
If an image is over or under-exposed, it can be corrected afterwards with the imaging software (contrast,
brightness, etc.) to improve its visualisation.
The table below allows you to note the exposure times specific to your generator:
