b) Angular tube current modulation:
Based on the above described axial tube current pro-
files the tube current is modulated during each tube
rotation. Therefore the angular attenuation profile is
measured on-line during the scan and the tube current
is modulated accordingly in real time to achieve an
optimum distribution of the x-ray intensity for every
viewing angle.

Relation between relative attenuation and relative
tube current. The adaptation strength may be adjusted
by user separately for the left branch (slim) and the
right branch (obese) of the curve. This adjustment
effects all examinations. The gray lines here indicates
the theoretical limits of the adaptation (constant dose
resp. constant image noise). The absolute (eff.) mAs
value is scaled with the “Image Reference mAs” value,
which may be adjusted in the Scan Card by the user.
