SID = SOURCE TO IMAGE DISTANCE
AKA ________ ___________ ____________
GRAB YOUR SUPERTECH!!
FIRST REGION IS LABELED:
———-SID (FFD)——————————
***CASE SCENERIO: PATIENT NEEDS AN AP-LOWER CERVICAL DONE AT 40 FFD SEE?
1–BUT YOUR OFFICE CAN ONLY SHOOT AT 72 FFD SEE?
2—YOU KNOW THE TCP AT YOUR OFFICE IS = -1 TCP
3….FIND THE COLUMN THAT HAS “FROM” 40” AND “TO” 72” FFD
4…..IT SAYS +3.5 SEE?
5—-SO….+3.5 TCP +( -1 TCP) = 2.5 TCP
6—PLUG IN 7O KVP FOR CERVICAL/ 13 CM ADULT CERIVAL/TCP = +2.5 AND YOU WILL GET YOUR “NEW”
___ mAs
“FOCAL FILM DISTANCE”
= FFD!!!
50 mAs
