Today is all about image density and how different settings on the x ray unit as well as the subject being imaged will effect this. The four topics I will be covering are: milliampere (mA), kilovoltage peak (kVp), exposure time, and subject thickness. I have covered some of these topics […]
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 […]
