Checking The Exposure Blocking - Siemens MAMMOMAT Novation DR Manual

Mechanical covers
Adapting OPCOMP
If the factory-set OPCOMP is not to the customer's satisfaction, an adjustment can be car-
ried out with the tautness factors in the Optimized compression dr table, see Service
Instructions (Software, SPB7-250.816.03...). A lower tautness value will increase the
compression force and vice versa.
•
Increase/decrease the tautness factor by e.g. 10 the first time. Let the customer use this
setting for at least two weeks before further changes are made.
NOTE

OPCOMP has been thoroughly tested by Siemens. If any factors
are changed, OPCOMP will no longer be an optimization of com-
pression force and image quality according to Siemens' clinical
test.
