Lecture - Anatomically Programmed Technique & Radiographic Technique Charts - Radiographic Physics

Anatomically programmed technique systems and AEC are not related in their functions, other than as systems for making exposures. However, these two different systems are commonly combined on radiographic units because of their similar dependence on integrated computer circuitry and often are used in conjunction with one another. A radiographer can use the anatomically programmed system to select a projection or position for a specific anatomic part and view the kVp, mA, and exposure time for manual technique. When anatomically programmed techniques are used in conjunction with AEC on some radiographic units, the system not only selects and displays manual exposure factors but also selects and displays the AEC detectors to be used for a specific radiographic examination. For example, pressing the “Lungs PA” button results in selection of 120 kVp, the upright Bucky, and the two outside AEC detectors. As with AEC, the anatomically programmed technique is a system that automates some of the work of radiography. However, the individual judgment and discretion of the radiographer is still required to use the anatomically programmed technique system correctly for the production of diagnostic-quality images
