    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

OK I'm a BMET and have access to all kinds of fun medical equipment. So when I test X-ray stuff I get to shoot real film shots. So I'm thinking I want to shoot my frog. I'd like to check for any signs of compaction since he is a so-so eater.

So: Any Rad Techs or Vet Techs know a kVp and mA setting for a guy this small? He his a bit bigger than a silver dollar and about 1.25" thick. I've looked at the Exposure chart and think the infant hand/leg setting on the exposure table will be good, and I'm going to ask a local vet to see too. Just courious if any of you know.

Thanks.
 
you're gonna want an ultra high density/speed film(i think it has a lavender band on the box) use for table top detail. as for Kvp it should be in the 50-60 range. let me know how it works for you, i haven't done it for awhile but that's what i recall.
 
oops i didn't read the size of the frog. should be more of a 40 ish kvp setting and a mas of 1/120 should be better. let me know how it comes out.
 
Thanks thats about what I was thinking. I'll be using a digital system so no picky wet film. Thanks for the info :D I'll post it when its up.
