Added filtration
Give this one a try later!
A thin sheet of aluminum positioned between the protective x-ray tube
housing and the x-ray beam collimator.
Decreases patient skin dose.
Compensating filters
Give this one a try later!
Filters used to maintain image quality. Compensating filters compensate for
differences in subject radiopacity.
