Abstract

Author made a experiment on the exposure dose with various intensifying screens in taking chest roentgenogram and obtained the results as follows; 1. Special speed type was the most sensitive intensifying screen, the r(gamma) value of this screen was distributed from 2.6 to 2.9. 2. The resolution activity of intensifying screen was inversely proportional to its sensitivity. If, the sensitivity and detail of the fine detail speed type intensifying screen at 100 KV were 100, those of the special speed type were 549 and 54.44 respectively. 3. If the exposure dose of the fine detail type intensifying screen was 1.0 at 60 KV, that of the special speed type intensifying screen was 0.1 at 80KV, and the skin dose of patient was as follows; it was 64.8 mRad at 60KV in mid speed type, 8.1 mRad at 80KV in super high speed type, and 7.2 mRad at 80KV in special speed type intensifying screen respectively.
