Effect of AEC. Displayed is an example of tube current modulation from an abdominal CT exam. The curve represents the reference signals on the detector as a function of table position. The reference signal is proportional to the tube current used for that table position and projection angle. The tube current oscillates as the table translates to adapt to the different attenuation levels of the patient along different projection angles.
