Preferred FastCal

The Preferred FastCal feature allows the site to tailor the total number of FastCal scans to what kV techniques they use when scanning patients. For example, if a site scans patients using two of the four available kVs, FastCal can be configured in reconfig to run with just those kV scans, thereby speeding up the total time to run FastCal by 50%.
