Jamal,

As far as I know, the process is:

1. Analyze/Calibrate to input your calibration curve
2. Image/Adjust Brightness and Contrast... to select the range of calibrated values to show in the image
3. Analyze/Tools/Calibration Bar... to make a new,  RGB, image with the calibration bar included

A different approach is to convert your image to 32-bit with Image/Type/32-bit.  Then you can use the mathematical transformations to map the pixel values into Relative Dose %.   In your case, you would subtract 140 and multiply by 20, so that a pixel value of 140 is mapped to 0 and and pixel value of 145 is mapped to 5 and then 100.  Use Process/Math/Subtract.... and then Process/Math/Multiply.   After that, you can Adjust Brightness and Contrast and then create the calibration bar.
