When measuring on a mammography machine with a horizontal beam, such as MultiCare Platinum, let
the pressure from the compression paddle fix the RaySafe Xi mammography detector in position. Put the
detector with the cable end pointing downwards and with the MAM-window centered in the compression
paddle biopsy window, as shown below.

kVp on AMX

When measuring on AMX machines with R/f high, RAd or dent high, keep a short distance to get kVp instead
