Parameter Pokok
High mAs
Image 1: Image 2:
Low mAs value - 4 times the mAs value-
high noise level half the noise level
Recommendation for mAs
In the case of a soft tissue study, the most
important to keep noise to a minimum by using higher
mAs. The lower the noise level, the easier it is to
recognize structures with minute differences in
density. But for bone or lung studies, higher mAs is not
necessary.
