Scale of contrast formula?

By

I came across this question on a registry review and am struggling to answer it mathematically.

Which of the following will produce the shortest scale of contrast?

A. 15 mAs, 70 kVp, 8:1 grid

B. 15 mAs, 95 kVp, 8:1 grid

C. 15 mAs, 70 kVp, 6:1 grid

D. 16 mAs, 95 kVp, 12:1 grid

I think C is wrong bc the low grid ratio. B is incorrect bc the higher kVp (compared w/ A, the higher kVp in B would lead to longer scale contrast. W all other factors being equal between the 2 choices, the kVp is the determining factor.) So I think I’ve narrowed it down to choices A and D, but what will contribute more to a shorter scale contrast: the lower kVp of choice A or the high grid ratio of choice D?

Is there a mathematical way/formula to solve this?

AI for radiology - A survey

By
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/
