Fig. 1 —Line graph shows relationship between attenuation profile and
effective milliampere-second (mAs) setting. Adaptation strength can be
adjusted separately for left branch (slim patients) and right branch (obese
patients) of curve. White line indicates theoretic limits of adaptation for
constant image noise. Absolute effective mAs value is scaled with image
quality reference mAs value selected for performing CT study.
