General
Fig. 2: Principle of CARE Dose tube current adaptation.
• CARE Dose is pre-selected by default for all standard
protocols, except head and cardiac protocols. It can
be switched on/off in the scan card.
• The application of CARE Dose does not require any
changes in the scan parameters. The mean value
of the mAs applied will be lower than what you have
selected.
• The mean value of the effective mAs applied is shown
in the image text.
