A computerized exposure system.

An application of computer technology to radiographic technique formulation and selection was developed. By proper monitoring and organizing of the immense number of variables associated with technique formulation, through computer program control, the resultant program can readily calculate a complete technique exposure system for virtually all standard radiographic generators in any number of diagnostic radiology installations. This results in significant saving of film cost and time in the preparation and continued maintenance of an exposure system, less exposure to the patient as a result of fewer repeat radiographs, and uniform film quality.
