Variable high kilovoltage and constant milliampere-seconds exposure, with either a fixed grid or air gap to reduce secondary radiation, are recommended as the radiographic technique of choice. With this, the roentgenograms are more consistently of high quality and the unsatisfactory examinations are far fewer than with other techniques.Article HistoryAccepted: Feb 1970Published in print: May 1970 FiguresReferencesRelatedDetailsCited BySubjective Contrast of Pulmonary Tissues in CsI-FPD Chest Radiography Using Model Phantom by Monte Carlo SimulationNobuhiroOda, ShuzoUehara, TsutomuNakano, TadamitsuIdeguchi, HajimeSakamoto, YoshitoTabata, HiroyukiAkazawa, TakatoshiAoki2023 | Japanese Journal of Radiological Technology, Vol. 79, No. 2THE EFFECT OF MANUAL LUNG INFLATION VS.
