What is another name for Automatic Brightness Control (ABC)?

Automatic Brightness Control (ABC) is also known as Automatic Exposure Rate Control. This term highlights the function of the system, which is designed to automatically adjust the brightness of the image produced by the image intensifier in response to various exposure conditions. The control mechanism helps maintain consistent image quality by regulating the amount of radiation that reaches the detector, ensuring that the brightest and darkest areas of the image are adequately illuminated for optimal visibility.

The association with "Exposure Rate" emphasizes the system’s role in managing the levels of exposure to radiation while balancing the need for clear imaging. By dynamically adjusting the intensity based on the detected scene, the system aids in producing high-quality images essential for accurate assessments and diagnosis.
