Abstract

Authors have investigated actual conditions of 22 hospitals throughout the Seoul district to evaluate of chest radiographic systems. The results are as followed: 1. Concerning exposure factors, most hospitals have used low tube voltage, merely two hospitals high tube voltage, that is, over 120 kVp. Roughly halves of intensifying screens have been used in hospitals were medium speed screens, and the rests were high speed screens. 2, Surface doses existed within wide range of $10{\sim}63.5mR$, and image quality value were $5.60{\sim}7.49$. 3. The minimum perceptibility of Burger Phantom have been increased with contrast improvement.
