We started each projection by using the technique chart provided to us as a baseline. We then adjusted the technique based on the exposure indices number and image quality. If the indices number indicated we were too low we would first adjust mAs. If the indices number was too high we would adjust mAs to be lower. As we imaged more parts we used proportional anatomy (anatomy of similar thickness) to start with a better baseline.
