X-ray machine settings vs type of subject?

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!

AI for radiology - A survey

Hello folks! We are a group of students from Karolinska Institutet and Stockholm University (Sweden). We are conducting a short survey (it should not take more than 10 minutes of your time) to evaluate an Artificial Intelligence framework for evaluating medical imaging and, in particular, the effect that explainability can have on clinicians' attitudes toward it. We welcome anyone who interacts with medical imaging to take our survey, so please, feel free to do it even if you are still a student or an intern! If you know someone who works in the field, please, pass them the survey. It would help us greatly. https://bit.ly/RTEX_survey Thanks in advance to all of you! submitted by /u/francozzz [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/Radiology/comments/r2ratp/ai_for_radiology_a_survey/
