When X Ray Images Are Overexposed There Can Be A
Question: When x ray images are overexposed there can be a loss of signals of bone or soft tissue, is overexposure the only reason for this or are there other reasons, please let me know
When x ray images are overexposed there can be a loss of signals of bone or soft tissue, is overexposure the only reason for this or are there other reasons, please let me know
I am also aware that underexposure affects an image as well, my images had a loss of signal in certain areas and i know i was not underexposed , so I'm afraid i was overexposed , so my question is - is there any other reason for loss of signal in areas besides over/underexposure , I'm panicking

Brief Answer:
Images are affected due to processing techniques and not always over exposure
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for writing in to us.
The xray image is a sum total of the radiation absorbed by the xray film or cassette and the image is formed after processing.
In case of signal differences, it is important to know if processing was done properly.
In older manual techniques, the processing depended on the processing technique and strength of developing and fixing chemicals in solution.
In new method of processing the image depends on the xray cassette and the reader machine.
There are a lot of other factors than under and over exposure from xrays that affect the image formed.
There is no need to panic as there is no clear direct over exposure.

By "loss of signal" i was referring to parts of the bone or soft tissues not being present on the image , i know that can be overexposure , but is it always?

Brief Answer:
A small slit for the xray beams to pass from the source to the target
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for writing back to us.
Slit radiography is creating a small slit for xray beams to pass from the source to the target and is used in dental radiography. A narrow beam of xrays is allowed to pass and this is repeated with different positions to get a panoramic xray image. It is not used much in general radiography.

Under automatic exposure control what is the minimum time it would take for the mAs to reach 600
Under automatic exposure control what is the minimum time it would take for the mAs to reach 600
Brief Answer:
The time for mAs 600 depends on multiple factors like set kVp and image receptor distance
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for writing in to us.
In automatic exposure control the kVp is set and the radiographer can work on the mAs as you might know. If the exposure is fixed then the mAs and exposure time will get balanced at the image receptor.
The minimum time taken for mAs to reach 600 is a hypothetical scenario as we also need to account for the kVp when a xray is taken.

I am aware automatic exposure control adjusts the mAs in automatic exposure control is the mA and kVp manually set by the radiographer
I am aware automatic exposure control adjusts the mAs in automatic exposure control is the mA and kVp manually set by the radiographer
Brief Answer:
Machines can have both factors adjustable in some machines
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for writing in to us.
In many machines the kVp is manually set and in some the machines the kVp can be adjusted. The AEC is more important for CT machines and therefore there are different type of machines that can process the changes in current and voltage.

I sent you an upload of an x ray , as you may notice the bottom corner is " whited out" and some bone and tissue was not seen as a result of this. I know I was NOT underexposed, and I am aware loss of parts of image could be a sign of overexposure. Is there any possible reason that " whited out" part of image could have occurred?

There is no problem with the xray generation or anything to do with the strength of the xrays. Even if we take collimation, it is limiting xrays and is unlikely to cause over exposure.

Brief Answer:

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for writing in to us.
The image on screen might differ from the film image considering few dark pixels in the white area. In digital imaging, there are many types of monitors as you know and usually medial imaging monitors are UHD and the ones we use on laptop are HD. Though I am not an expert on monitors, I do feel the dark pixels might be apparent on the monitor and not true areas of darkness.
The image film will not show any dark pixels in the above case situation.

Brief Answer:

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for writing in.
You might find that there is a hazy but linear area separating the normal exposure from the white area. This can suggest an object that came in the way between the xray and the cassette. A collimator or anything in or adjacent the cassetter can be the cause.

Brief Answer:
There are safety systems to control tube overheating
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for writing in to us.
Xray tubes have a tube rating and heat capacity and this allows it to function in a range pre determined values of KVp and MAS.
The radiation generated is 1 percent and heat is 99 percent. If the heat is out of range of the tube rating parameters then there is damage to the tube and it can cause the target to melt.
20 mSv is a very high dose at a time for xray and is not achievable and you are correct in saying that the machine will get overheated as a lot of heat will be generated. However there are safety systems in place to check tube overheating.
