This chart serves as the perfect cheat sheet for radiography students, helping you familiarise yourself with typical exposures, doses, and imaging parameters for common radiographic examinations. By presenting key factors such as kVp, mAs, effective dose (mSv), and guidance on the use of grids and AEC, it offers a quick reference to support both theoretical learning and clinical practice. Students can use it to understand the rationale behind exposure settings, optimise patient safety by minimising radiation dose, and ensure high-quality imaging tailored to specific examinations and views. This resource is invaluable for building confidence and competence in technique selection and dose management, which are crucial skills for any radiographer. * Please note that these are not the exposures and doses for every hospital or equipment - they are formed on an average of UK exposures, and can therefore be learned as the ‘standard’ for adult patients. Exposures will be different for children *
