Abstract

We studied exposure techniques and exposure dose for simple abdomen A-P projection for 41 medical facilities that are located in Seoul area. 1. The range of tube voltage used was 60 to 84 kVp, the average tube voltage used was 74 kVp 2. Only 17% of added filter was used. 3. Tube current mostly used was 200 mA, some of them used 400 mA. 4. The grid ratio mostly was used 10 : 1, 54 % of the rare earth screen was used in most facilities. 5. The average skin entrance dose was 4.15 mSv and the dose range was 1.05 mSv to 11.0 mSv.
