Abstract:
The main objective of this study was to optimize exposure factors which
can be used to acquire skull X-ray objectively. The data of this study
collected from 50 patients examined by skull X-ray in East Nile Hospital,
Modern Hospital in Khartoum – Sudan in the period from September
2014 to May 2015 using Digital Philips machine. The data were collected
using five variables, they includes exposure factor ( Kv and MAs) patient
height, weight, body mass index. The result of this study showed that
there is no difference between male and female in respect to exposure
factor. The Kv associated with the patient length and weight directly
where the Kv increases by 0.033 Kv /cm and 0.044 kv/Kg respectively
while the mAs correlated directly with patient length which is increases
by 0.0001 mAs/cm. in conclusion this result gives a dynamic exposure
factor attributed to body characteristics.
