Do CEC guidelines under-utilise the full potential of increasing kVp as a dose-reducing tool?
Doherty, P.; O'Leary, D.; Brennan, Patrick C. (2003-08-01)Increasing beam energies are well established as a radiation dose-reducing tool in diagnostic radiology. This has led to useful recommendations by the Commission of European Communities (CEC) for appropriate kVp values to ... -
Increasing film-focus distance (FFD) reduces radiation dose for x-ray examinations
Brennan, Patrick C.; McDonnell, S.; O'Leary, D. (2004-04-21)Increasing film-focus distance (FFD) from the traditional 100 cm has been shown to be an effective method of reducing dose whilst maintaining image quality. In particular, previous work increasing the FFD from 100 to 130 ... -
Reducing dose for digital cranial radiography : The increased source to the image-receptor distance approach
Joyce, Maria; McEntee, Mark; Brennan, Patrick C.; O'Leary, Desiree (2013-12-01)This investigation proposes that an increased source to the image-receptor distance (SID) technique can be used to optimize occipital frontal and lateral cranial radiographs acquired with direct digital radiography. Although ...
