9.4 Selecting Dynamic Exposure Control (DEC)
NOTE
Dynamic Exposure Control (DEC) is an optional feature for
Planmeca ProMax 2D units.
NOTE
DEC and vertical segmenting can be used simultaneously.
However, the right-most vertical segment cannot be
deselected.
NOTE
DEC and horizontal segmenting cannot be used
simultaneously.
Select the DEC button.
Dynamic Exposure Control (DEC) automatically provides
optimal exposure values for each patient during exposure.
The function adjusts the exposure values individually for
each patient based on their anatomic structure and bone
density. Switching DEC on improves the image quality as
the function produces images of more consistent
brightness and contrast.
When DEC is switched on the exposure values are
automatically adjusted during exposure. The kV value is
adjusted by max ±4 kV and the mA value is adjusted by
max +4 / -3 mA within the available scale.
9.4.1 Adjusting DEC density
If the images appear to be too bright or too dark, DEC
density can be adjusted. Select Settings > Program >
2200 Program Features > Pan DEC Density and use the
minus or plus sign to adjust the setting.
The setting can be adjusted between 20% (lower
exposure values -> brighter image) and 200% (higher
exposure values -> darker image). The recommended
setting is 100% (default setting).
Select DEC button
