Dose reduction in xeroradiography--application to chest tomography. 1979

V B John, and K Ewen, and B Bringewald

Exposure and image quality in xeroradiography were studied in a test object and in patient tomographic examinations of the chest. With increased tube voltage and added copper filtration, skin exposure was reduced up to a factor of 10 without loss of image quality.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D011829 Radiation Dosage The amount of radiation energy that is deposited in a unit mass of material, such as tissues of plants or animal. In RADIOTHERAPY, radiation dosage is expressed in gray units (Gy). In RADIOLOGIC HEALTH, the dosage is expressed by the product of absorbed dose (Gy) and quality factor (a function of linear energy transfer), and is called radiation dose equivalent in sievert units (Sv).
