Radiographic Exposure Factors: What You Need To Know!

Показать описание
Welcome to my first video. In this video I cover everything you need to know about exposure factors, what they are, how they work, and how you can manipulate them to produce the best possible images.

Knowing these fundamentals is what will give you the confidence to take on any X-ray examination in your day to day as a Radiographer, particularly when you're still learning as a student. I hope you find this useful.

The topics I cover in this video include: kVp, mAs, beam quality, beam quantity, 15% rule, signal to noise ratio (SNR), quantum mottle, exposure optimisation, effect of kVp and mAs on images, and adjusting these factors for the best X-ray.

WHO AM I:
I'm Sahand, a Lecturer and Radiographer (and now YouTuber?) in Sydney AUS. I received my PhD (Medicine and Health) this year in 2023 on breast cancer imaging and radiation dose. I'm a lifelong learner, forever curious about the day to day things, and I'm here to make videos and give you my own unique take on the concepts that you may need some extra help with.

This is gold. Better than anything that ive gotten in the textbooks. The most difficult thing about learning radiography is that those that are teaching have muscle memory in regards to the curriculum. So teaching it to students that feel like this stuff is hieroglyphic makes us want to just drop the program lol. But this was a good snapshot and refresher.

I have been watching radiology videos for over the last 3 months and this is the first time one of your videos has popped up in my search. It was excellent. I will be watching more. Thank you.

So, are you saying that low mA and low kV (~7:40)can result in most on the image?
