Increasing Tube Voltage Research Articles

Dose reduction in xeroradiography--application to chest tomography.

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.

The quality of disturbed radiation to the ovaries during diagnostic x-ray exminations (author's transl)

Dose measurements and analysis of disturbed spectra have shown that protection of the ovaries against disturbed radiation is worth while, although its effectiveness decreases with higher tube voltages. Increasing tube voltage increases disturbed radiation to the ovaries; the quality of the disturbed radiation is largely independent of the amount of filtration.
