Which of the following must be used with digital-based x-ray processors to ensure that the ALARA concept is practiced?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An exposure technique chart is necessary to ensure that the appropriate exposure factors are being used to produce diagnostic images while minimizing radiation dose to the patient. This is an important aspect of the ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) concept. While a grid and a 40-inch SID can also be useful in reducing scatter radiation and improving image quality, they are not directly related to practicing the ALARA concept in digital-based x-ray processing. Added aluminum at the port of the x-ray tube is a technique used in mammography for low-energy photons and is also not directly related to practicing the ALARA concept in digital-based x-ray processing.
