Abstract
A method for exposure control setup for a volume radiographic imaging apparatus obtains a reconstructed image volume of a subject acquired from the imaging apparatus using a set of x-ray technique settings. An image slice from the reconstructed image volume displays in at least a first rendering having a first corresponding noise factor and a second rendering having a second corresponding noise factor, different from the first noise factor. An operator instruction selects one of the at least first and second renderings and stores the corresponding noise factor for the set of x-ray technique settings. An automatic exposure control of the imaging apparatus is configured according to the stored noise factor.
