If the radiographer is doing an upright chest using AEC but the table bucky is selected

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When the table bucky is selected by mistake for an upright chest X-ray using Automatic Exposure Control (AEC), the AEC sensors will not detect the x-rays properly because they are positioned in the wrong place. This leads to the system not knowing when to terminate the exposure, often resulting in the back-up time being reached to prevent excessive exposure. Consequently, the patient may be exposed to more radiation than necessary, and the image receptor (IR) may be overexposed, affecting image quality.
