8.5.2 Selecting Ultra Low Dose (ULD)
Select the ULD button to take an exposure with a very low dose. The
function can be used to reduce patient radiation dose for example in
orthodontic treatments, implant planning or follow-up studies.
NOTE
The exposure values will automatically change according to the selected
patient size, image resolution and ULD setting.
8.5.3 Adjusting exposure values for current exposure
NOTE
Always try to minimise the radiation dose to the patient.
The exposure values have been preset at the factory for each patient size,
image resolution and ULD (Ultra Low Dose) setting. The preset exposure
values are average values and they are only meant to guide the user.
The preset exposure values are shown in the following tables.
The preset exposure values depend on the X-ray tube model (90 or 120 kV)
of the X-ray unit. The X-ray tube model of your X-ray unit is marked on the
product label attached to the bottom of the tube head.
