Tasks

Positioning

Assigned to: Elizabeth

Responsibilities: Position and collimate each phantom accurately for the various anatomical views.

Annotations & Computer

Assigned to: Laura

Responsibilities: Annotate the optimal techniques, kVp, mAs, and exposure values. Handle any computer-related tasks such as data entry and digital image analysis.

Calculations

Assigned to: Maricela

Responsibilities: Perform the mathematical calculations required to determine the initial and adjusted imaging techniques, such as applying the 15% rule and adjusting mAs.

Project Documentation

Assigned to: Group Effort

Responsibilities: As a group, we have created this Google Site to document the final project. This site will include all annotated data, images, calculations, and a detailed description of our methodology and findings.

Purpose

The purpose of this project is for students to apply the knowledge they have gained over the semester, using available resources, to develop a fixed kVp technique chart.

This chart is created by analyzing the relationships between anatomical structures and considering the various factors necessary to produce optimal images.
