Chronic Low Back Pain Selection of a Career in Chiropractic ABSTRACTS Optimum Aluminium Filtration for Spinal Radiography DONALD K. FREEMAN and REG T. POOLE Measurements of exposure to produce constant radiographic density as a function of added aluminium filtration indicate that the optimum value for spinal radiography at 85 kVp is 4 mm. The optimum total aluminium filtration (inherent plus added) indicated is 5 mm. These values of aluminium filtration result in minimum patient exposure, no decrease in radiographic quality and only a relatively small increase in x-ray generator power.
