METHOD DECIDING A FOCUS-FILM DISTANCE FROM A CHEST-THICKNESS

Efficacy of Increasing Focus to Film Distance (FFD) for Patient’s Dose and Image Quality in Pediatric Chest Radiography

Background: Increasing the x-ray focus to film distance (FFD) has been advocated as an effective method to reduce the patients’ radiation dose. The aim of this study was to investigate the efficacy of this technique in patients' dose and image quality in pediatric chest x-ray.Material and methods: Sixty pediatric patients were x-ray imaged at FFDs of 100 and 130 cm. Dose measurements were perfo...

Considerations for standard chest radiography: the long film-focus distance technique.

The possibility of using long film-focus distance radiography as a new screening method for lung cancer diagnosis was investigated. Long-film focus distance radiography produced exceptionally superior image sharpness suitable for use as clinical photographs, at a distance of about FFD (Film-Focus Distance) 20 m. The effective energy was increased by narrowing the radiation spectrum via an air-f...

a paradigm shift away from method-wise teaching to strategy-wise teaching: an investigation of reconstructive strategy versus communicative strategy

چکیده: هدف اصلی این مطالعه ی توصیفی تحقیقی در حقیقت تلاشی پساروش-گرا به منظور رسیدن به نتیجه ای منطقی در انتخاب مناسبترین راهکار آموزشی بر گرفته از چارچوب راهبردی مطرح شده توسط والدمر مارتن بوده که به بهترین شکل سازگار و مناسب با سامانه ی آموزشی ایران باشد. از این رو، دو راهکار آموزشی، راهکار ارتباطی و راهکار بازساختی، برای تحقیق و بررسی انتخاب شدند. صریحاً اینکه، در راستای هدف اصلی این پژوهش، ر...
