Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to determine the exposure conditions for general X-rays by calculation. The concept of the basic equation for the calculation is that the dose after transmitting an object is determined by entering the exposure conditions. For this purpose, we formulated a basic equation by mathematically representing all factors that influence imaging conditions. Using the basic equation, we succeeded in determining the optimal exposure condition for a patient's body thickness by calculation. Even if another equipment, grid, added filter, etc., is used, optimal exposure conditions can be determined by adding correction factors determined by simple added measurements; this confirmed the versatility of the system. The calculation accuracy was verified to be within 15%. By using this system, we succeeded in optimizing exposure conditions for general X-rays.

Diffraction
Diffraction is the change in the direction of travel experienced by an electromagnetic wave when it encounters a physical barrier whose dimensions are comparable to those of the wavelength of the light. X-rays are electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths about as long as the distance between neighboring...
The X̄ Chart
The x̄ chart, often known as the individual control chart, is a crucial tool in statistical process control. It is designed to monitor process behavior and performance over time and is widely used in various industries to ensure that processes are operating at their optimum capacity and within specified limits.
A x̄ chart is constructed by plotting individual measurements of a quality characteristic in the order in which...
