Description
The effect of exposure technique factors varies between analogue and digital X-ray imaging systems (DR). Understanding these variations is paramount to optimising radiation protection, yet radiographers are unclear about these effects. A practical method to demonstrate milliampere second (mAs) effect in DR was developed to assist diagnostic radiography students in understanding exposure technique factors in DR.
