Can exposure hand switches be used in X-ray machines designed for specialized imaging, such as mammography or cone-beam CT?

Exposure hand switches are typically not used in X-ray machines designed for specialized imaging modalities like mammography or cone-beam CT. Instead, these machines often employ automatic exposure control (AEC) systems tailored to the specific imaging requirements of the procedure. In mammography, for example, AEC systems adjust exposure parameters based on breast density and thickness to optimize image quality while minimizing radiation dose. Similarly, cone-beam CT systems utilize AEC to ensure proper exposure settings for volumetric imaging of specific anatomical regions. These specialized imaging modalities demand precise and controlled radiation exposure, which is efficiently managed by AEC technology rather than manual hand switches. However, manual override options may still be available for exceptional cases or specific clinical needs, but they are not the primary method of exposure control in such specialized X-ray systems. We are a manufacturer of X-ray machines and their accessories.
