According to the inspected body part, radiologists select appropriate conditions and range of radiography, and give lead protection for non-inspection part in necessary. The conditions include body size, tube voltage (kV), tube current (mA), exposure time (s), pitch, reconstruction algorithm, and so on. Moreover, ifs significant that the staff must comply with the radiation safety operation regulations and specification fbr equipment use. According to the radiological protection regulations promulgated by the State Council, exposure dose must be strictly controlled while the patient is diagnosed, treated and checked by radioactive isotope or rays, to avoid unnecessary exposure.
