2) Use the highest kVp possible.
3) Never use an SID below 40-in.

Using a small radiation field limits the area exposed, using the highest kVp possible reduces patient dose by requiring less mA for the same exposure, and maintaining an SID (Source-to-Image Distance) of at least 40 inches helps in reducing the intensity of radiation exposure to the patient by taking advantage of the inverse square law.
