Proper Management of the Clinical Exposure Index Based on Body Thickness Using Dose Optimization Tools in Digital Chest Radiography: A Phantom Study

Proper Management of the Clinical Exposure Index Based on Body Thickness Using Dose Optimization Tools in Digital Chest Radiography: A Phantom Study

In radiography, the exposure index (EI), as per the International Electrotechnical Commission standard, depends on the incident beam quality and exposure dose to the digital radiography system. Today automatic exposure control (AEC) systems are commonly employed to obtain the optimal image quality....
