Main functions
3.2.5.24 Settings
This group of columns is related to different settings (Added filtration, compression paddle, beam
correction factor and calibration).
Set Added filtr.
Compr. paddle
Beam corr. factor
Calibration
Added filtration (used for example for HVL)
Compression paddle status
Beam correction factor (optional correction factor for exposure and exposure
rate)
Shows selected calibration for a detector
3.2.5.24.1 Set Added filtr. (Set value)
This column (it can also be in general settings) is specifying the amount of added filtration. It can be
used for different purposes but normally you would use it when you are doing an HVL measurement to
specify the amount of aluminum you add. It can also be used to increase accuracy of measured kVp and
dose/dose rate when the meter is unable to estimate the amount of filtration or you are using a
detector that doesn't have automatic energy correction.
You can also set this parameter on the Meter adjust tabs (unless you are doing an HVL calculation). It is
found on tabs for RTI kVp and dose detectors. This value is specific for each detector used in a test or
real-time display.
This column is required for the following analysis
HVL
3.2.5.24.2 Compr. paddle (Selection)
This column (it can also be in general settings) is specifying if the compression plate is present or not.
This column is relevant only for mammography measurements.
You can also set this parameter on the Meter adjust tabs. It is found on tabs for RTI kVp and dose
detectors. This value is specific for each detector used in a test or real-time display.
This column is required for the following analysis
not required for any analysis
3.2.5.24.3 Beam corr. factor (Set value)
This column (or in general settings) is specifying a factor that measured exposure and exposure rate is
multiplied with. This column can be used to apply a correction to a measured exposure or exposure rate
value.
You can also set this parameter on the Meter adjust tabs. It is found on tabs corresponding to all type
of exposure detectors. This value is specific for each detector used in a test or real-time display.
This column is required for the following analysis
not required for any analysis
3.2.5.24.4 Calibration (Selection)
This is column is specifying the calibration used for corresponding detector.
You can set this value on the Meter adjust tabs in situations where it is not important to see what
calibration is used. For example, when doing radiography, fluoroscopy and dental measurements, only
one calibration is available. However, when doing mammography measurements, there are several
different calibrations available and it may be useful to easily see the calibration being used for the
measurement. This setting is also found on the meter adjust tabs for the RTI kVp and dose detectors.
This value is specific for each detector used in a test or real-time display.
This column is required for the following analysis
