The shading speed can be corrected by using 25 kV / 20 mR but it is not recommended.
12.1 Sensitivity check with type ST and ST-BD

• Uniformly expose the largest IP of the type ST (e.g. 14” x 17” or 14” x 14”) and ST-BD (e.g. 24 x 30
cm) with a dosage of about 1 mR (8.7 µGy) at about 80 kV (≈ 0.5mAs, small focus, free exposure
technique). If necessary, use a dose value of 2 mR (17.4 µGy)
• Use a large SID (min. 1800mm).
• Do not use any filters.
• Open the shutters of the collimator completely. The green marker of the cassette shows to the
anode of the tube.
• Check the dosage with a dosimeter.
• Register (barcode) the IP under the examination SERVICE/ TEST and the view SENSITIVITY.
• Be sure that this view is programmed to EDR = 1 (semi mode) and MPM code 0900.
• Use post processing code U0000900 (GA=1, GT=A, GC=1.2, GS=0.0, RN=3, RT=F and RE=0.0).
Alternatively the examination SERVICE/ TEST/ Semi Mode/ AVE 4.0 with the MRM code 090E
can be used. The MRM code 090E with L = 4 will produce an image with a more homogeneous
gray level and lower tolerances respectively.
• 10 ... 11 minutes after the exposure has been made, enter the cassette into the Reader.
• For the result look at the image console:

• If there are greater deviations of S, perform the sensitivity and shading correction.
12.2 Sensitivity check with type HR

• Uniformly expose the largest available HR cassette, e.g. 24 x 30 cm, with a dosage of about 3.6 mR
(31.32 µGy) at about 80 kV (about 2mAs, small focus, free exposure technique).
• Use a large SID (min. 1800 mm).
• Open the shutters of the collimator completely. The chest wall side of a mammo cassette points at
the cathode of the tube. The green marker of a standard cassette 18 x 24 cm points at the anode
of the tube.
• Check the dosage with a dosimeter and write down the measured value and the time.
Now you have 10 minutes until the IP must be read out.
• Be sure that this view is programmed to EDR = 1 (semi mode) and MRM code 0900.
• Use post processing code U0000900 (GA=1, GT=A, GC=1.2, GS=0.0, RN=3, RT=F and RE=0.0).
Alternatively the examination SERVICE/ TEST/ Semi Mode/ AVE 4.0 with the MRM code 090E
can be used. The MRM code 090E with L = 4 will produce an image with a more homogeneous

• If there are greater deviations, perform the sensitivity and shading correction.
12.3 Sensitivity check with type HR-BD

• Take the largest available size of the mammo
cassettes, e.g. 24 x 30 cm.
• Make sure the IP is aligned at the following
edges of the cassette.
• Make an exposure to measure the dosage with a dosimeter.

Exposure condition: 25 KV, 20 mR, Mo/Mo anode and filter (about 5.60 mAs, cassette in slot)
• Check the dosage with a dosimeter (20 mR = 174 µGy) at the points shown in the picture and write

12.8 Sensitivity tolerances for type ST and ST- BD

Dose: 1 mR ± 10% Measured in 1% resolution, at 80 kV and in 1800
mm distance, without any filter.
The deviation from 1 mR has to be entered in 1%
accuracy as the correction factor into the Reader.
S value: 170...200...250 During check -15% and +25 % deviation
180...200...220 After adjustment 10 % deviation
Pixel value PVraw: 1850 ... 2050 ... 2250 5% deviation in main scan direction, 10% in sub-
scan direction
(12 bit, 0=white)
If the exposures have been read out with L= 4 instead of L=1, the tolerances of the pixel values and
of the density on film decrease accordingly.
12.9 Sensitivity tolerances for type HR

Dose: 3.6 mR ± 10% Measured in 1% resolution, at 80 kV and in 1800
mm distance, without any filter. The deviation
from 1 mR has to be entered in 1% accuracy as
the correction factor into the Reader.
S value: 84...120...156 During check 30 % deviation
Pixel value PVraw: 1850 ... 2050 ... 2250 5% deviation in main scan direction, 10% in sub-
scan direction
(12 bit, 0=white)
