    AEC Calibration Guide For Hologic M-IV Rev00

    Uploaded by

    This document provides instructions for inhibiting the cassette sensor setting, AEC calibration, and changing the film name on a HOLOGIC M4 system. The 3-step AEC calibration procedure involves adjusting the AEC chamber gain and master density values using acrylic phantoms and specified kV settings to target 1000-1100Gy exposure values. The dip switch must be moved to change from service mode for calibration to normal operation mode after calibration is complete.
