Grid Absorption
The following information may aid in selecting a grid and/or estimating doses in front of the bucky if required: The
percentages listed are approximate.

NOTE: BREAKPOINT CALIBRATIONS MAY HAVE BEEN DONE FOR ALL THREE FILM SCREEN
COMBINATIONS DURING TABLE BUCKY AEC CALIBRATION. IF SO, THE REMAINING
IMAGE RECEPTORS MUST USE THE CALIBRATION CURVES PREVIOUSLY ESTABLISHED
FOR THOSE FILM SCREENS.
USE, IT IS SUGGESTED THAT TWO RECEPTOR SELECTOR BUTTONS ON THE CONSOLE
BE ASSIGNED TO SELECT THE WALL BUCKY. THE FIRST WALL BUCKY SELECTOR
SHOULD BE USED FOR 40
CALIBRATED FILM SCREEN. THE SECOND WALL BUCKY SELECTOR SHOULD THEN BE
USED WITH THE PREVIOUSLY UNCALIBRATED FILM SCREEN AT 72
SEPARATE DEDICATED FILM SCREEN WITH ITS OWN CALIBRATION CURVE CAN BE
ASSIGNED TO THE 72

At 72 in (180 cm) absorption = 18%
At 40 in (100 cm) absorption = 40%
At 72 in (180 cm) absorption = 20%
At 40 in (100 cm) absorption = 50%
At 40 in (100 cm) absorption = 65%
At 40 in (100 cm) absorption = 75%
At 72 in (180 cm) absorption = 65%
At 72 in (180 cm) absorption = 75%
