3-1 Standard exposures
• For standard exposures (contact examinations, made with the Bucky in place), the large focal spot is
selected by default. Exposures are not permitted if the small focal spot is selected.
Check on the control panel display that the focal spot selection is shown as Large.
3-2 Magnification
• For magnification exposures, the Bucky must be removed and replaced by a magnification stand.
The small focal spot is selected by default. Exposures are not permitted if the large focal spot is
selected.
Check on the control panel display that the focal spot selection is shown as Small.
• Always make sure that the magnification stand is correctly locked in place before starting an exam.
• The object-detector distance depends on the magnification factor required. See Chapter 3
Senographe DS Gantry and Generator for available magnification factors.
• In Manual mode, increasing the kV setting by 1 or 2 kV will reduce exposure time.
