Analysis of image quality and effective dose in adult chest phantom radiography with high BMI

Aim: To investigate the impact of different kVp and mAs values on effective dose and image quality using a chest phantom that simulates a normal sized and an obese patient. Methods and materials: A chest phantom with simulated pathological nodules was imaged at various kVp and mAs values. To determi...
