Abstract:IntroductionDifferences in patient size often provide challenges for radiographers, particularly when choosing the optimum acquisition parameters to obtain radiographs with acceptable image quality (IQ) for diagnosis. This study aimed to assess the effect of body part thickness on IQ in terms of low‐contrast detail (LCD) detection and radiation dose when undertaking adult chest radiography (CXR).MethodsThis investigation made use of a contrast detail (CD) phantom. Polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) was utilised to… Show more
