Abstract
The distance between the table top and the Bucky tray varies between radiographic rooms in most X-ray departments. A potential difference of 8% or more in the degree of magnification of [human] radiographic images was found in 5 hospitals. Articles on measurement of kidneys, intracranial volume and sella turcica should specify the distance used to establish the charts.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
