Abstract
This study aims to identify optimal exposure parameters, delivering the lowest radiation dose while maintaining images of diagnostic quality for the antero-posterior (AP) abdomen x-ray projection in large patients with an AP abdominal diameter of >22.3 cm.The study was composed of two phases. In phase 1, an anthropomorphic phantom (20 cm AP abdominal diameter) was repetitively radiographed while adding 3 layers (5 cm thick each) of fat onto the...
