A lateral projection of the hip is obtained using 70 kVp, 200 mA, 31.2 ms, no grid, 40″ SID, and a 1.2 mm focal spot size. What is the net effect of using a 5:1 grid and increasing the mA to 400? RAD 120 FINAL EXTRA CREDIT (5 points total)

During manufacturing, if the height of the lead strips in question number 6 was reduced to 20 mm and the interspace material was increased to 4 mm, the grid would be more effective at removing scattered x-ray photons with the lead strip unchanged.

A radiograph of the AC joints using 72 kVp, 15 mAs, 40â SID, and an 8:1 ratio grid on a direct exposure digital system and produced an acceptable 210 EI. If the procedure is performed using a 60â SID, calculate the mAs required to produce a comparable EI value.
