RAD 484 - Introduction to Digital Imaging

So you no longer have to memorize the mAs and KvP values when you are doing your xrays you can pull up the computer values and its in it and point and shoot essentially now?

Good question. Most facilities use fixed kVp techniques and techs vary the mAs. These values are typically preloaded in the machines. There's very little manual technique setting like what was done 10-15 years ago. Techs still need to know a "ball park" for what's an appropriate technique. To determine whether technique is appropriate after the exposure, it's best to refer to a deviation index (or other exposure indicator).
