Clinical evaluation of the 350-kV chest radiography system.
A chest radiography unit employing 350 kV was evaluated and found to be superior to conventional low-kV systems. Visualization of air/soft-tissue boundaries, mediastinal structures, the retrocardiac area, and lung apices was improved. Other benefits of the high-kV system include reproducibility, reliability, rapid installation, and economy of operation.
