Radiographic room A is a three-phase, 6-pulse generator.Room B is a high frequency generator.When going between these two rooms to perform examinations, what exposure modification is necessary to produce comparable exposure density?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

High frequency generators are more efficient than three-phase systems, allowing for shorter exposure times and lower patient dose for the same radiographic density. However, when comparing the output of a high frequency generator to a three-phase, 6-pulse generator, the difference in efficiency is already accounted for in the design and calibration of the systems. Therefore, no change in exposure settings is typically necessary to produce comparable exposure density between these two types of systems.
