Radiographic Technique Chart (Outbucky) : Distance: 40 Sid /machine Constant: 20mas

This chart provides radiographic technique parameters for chest x-rays based on patient thickness. It lists patient thicknesses from 5 to 30 centimeters and the corresponding milliampere-seconds and kilovoltage peak to use based on a source-to-image distance of 40 inches and machine constant of 20 mAs. The purpose is to provide standardized technique guidelines for obtaining high quality chest x-rays with appropriate exposure levels for patients of varying sizes.
