Optimisation of the AP abdomen projection for larger patient body thicknesses
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...
