Exposure Factors and the X-ray Tube
Feather-light touch positioning of the X-ray tube head is possible due to the use of
Carbon Nano Tube X-ray technology that allows the X-ray tube to weigh just 1.1 kg, in
comparison to conventional tubes of similar performance weighing over 20 kg.
Carbon Nano Tube X-ray Head
Radiographic output voltage is variable from 40 kVp to 110 kVp in 1 kV increments
which are selectable via an embedded touchscreen monitor.
Timed exposures are selectable from 0.2 mAs to 20 mAs, reflecting a time range of 5 ms
to 400 ms. Exposures are indicated both visually and audibly by means of a prep/expose
light on the embedded touch panel assembly that glows green when prepped and
yellow during an exposure, and via a loudspeaker that emits a tone to indicate when
an exposure is taking place.
