X-ray machine settings vs type of subject?

By

Doing some research for school, hopefully someone can help me with this:

How do the specs of the xray machine correspond with how far the xrays will penetrate?

i.e. the kV, mA, Hz of the machine.

What power would one need to image a mouse, a cat, a human hand, a human chest, a horse, etc.

Is there a cheat sheet I can download that has this information listed, or an equation that xray techs use to set the machine?

Thanks!

Do rad techs/sonographers deal with vomit often?

By
Hi there! I’m currently considering going to school to be a rad tech or sonographer but I’m struggling to find out if you guys deal with vomit a lot. I am emetophobic (phobia of vomit) and, while I think I’d like these jobs a lot, it does worry me to think about having to deal with it often. Thank you for your help! submitted by /u/pootscoot1 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/Radiology/comments/p5y0aa/do_rad_techssonographers_deal_with_vomit_often/
