Notes Adding Radiography Settings<br />

Radiography settings let you add radiographic settings for a simulation film. You can<br />

add the kVp and mA values, the number of seconds to expose the field, and the blade<br />

positions during exposure. In this exercise, you will add radiography settings.<br />

1. In the Simulation Field dialog box, click .<br />

Opens the Radiography tab of the Simulation Field dialog box, shown in<br />

Figure 61.<br />

Specifies the kVp value.<br />

3. Type 200 in the mA field.<br />

Specifies the mA value.<br />

4. Type .25 in the Secs field.<br />

Specifies the duration of the exposure in fractions of a second.
