Annex B: Basic X-Ray techniques used for Different Anatomy

Note:
1) The below mentioned X-Ray protocol and methods are for recommendation only. Operator is solely responsible for deciding the protocol and method of taking
X-Ray. Final results depend on many factors.
2) Image quality can get affected due to chemical degradation over a period of time or wrong film developing techniques. Please check with chemical
manufacturer for proper usage of the developing chemicals.
3) This table is applicable to average 70 kg patient.
4) For a patient of average of more than 70 kgs, increase kV and mAs as required.
5) For a patient of average of less than 70 kgs, decrease kV and mAs as required.
6) These parameters are based on 400 speed film.
7) If images are too dark (Over Exposed), decrease mAs; if images are too light (Underexposed), Increase mAs. Adjust the kV and mAs accordingly using a
different FFD or varying the kV or settings.
8) The Reference dose is for FFD of 100 cm and can change ± 20 % depending upon Accuracy of Dose meter and Accuracy of the kV and mAs delivered.
9) The Dose will Significantly increase with Decrease in FFD and dose will Significantly reduce with Increase in FFD.
CAUTION: Always position the Equipment such that minimum FFD (100cm) is met.
