Now that we’ve gone over how changing the different settings affect your final image, we will go over how to adjust the settings and produce an image of similar density. First we’ll discuss kilovoltage peak (kVp) and then onto milliampere (mA). Kilovoltage peak (kVp) A few weeks ago we went […]
This last setting on the x ray unit is one that can be changed on all x rays units. 🙂 However, it is also one of the least changed settings I have come across in private offices. Newer x ray units typically have preset times for different areas of the […]
This week will be covering the milliampere or mA setting on an x ray unit. Changing the mA affects the QUANTITY of x rays produced. Some units have a fixed mA (typically in the range of 7 – 12) and some are changeable (from 5 – 15). For those units […]
