The X-ray Heel Effect influences automatic exposure control (AEC) termination at different AEC cell locations. This study evaluates the Heel Effect’s influence on AEC cell balance testing methodologies in digital radiography.

This session provides a practical framework for optimizing radiography through physics, quality control, and clinical integration. Topics include the physics of technique selection (kVp/mAs, attenuation, filtration, grids, geometry, and detector metrics), ret...
