Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
In radiation health principles it is important to increase information per unit of radiation or to decrease radiation per unit of information. This study shows that the use of a new materal for cassette faceplates can provide the radiologist with identical radiographs while exposing the patient to significantly less radiation. The amount of reduction will depend upon the KVP used and the thickness of the material between the patient and the film. It should be possible to reduce radiation up to 90 percent in some x-ray procedures with this new sophisticated Space Age material. |
