Abstract
The aim of this study was to obtain the best radiographic image quality by evaluating optimum parameters including kilovoltage (kV), milliampere (mA), exposure time and focal distance in relation to different body thicknesses. This research employed an exploratory laboratory method and was conducted at Weka Animal Hospital, Veterinary Medicine Faculty, University of Wijaya Kusuma Surabaya. The equipment used consisted of an X-Ray unit (Dongmun) and a digital radiography system (Rayence). A total of 14 waer monitor lizards were used as samples, divided into three age groups adult, uvenile and baby. Each group underwent dorsoventral and lateral radiographic imaging four times using the following exposure settings: 40kV,100mA; 50kV,100mA; 60kV,50mA; and 70kV,50mA, with 2 mAs and a focal film distance of 100 cm. The results showed that the clearest radiographic images for the head region were obtained at 70kV,50mA for adults, 50kV,100 mA for juveniles, and 40kV,100mA for baby. For the respiratory tract, the best image quality was also produced at 70kV,50 mA for adults, 50kV,100mA for juveniles, and 40kV,100mA for baby. However, for the digestive tract, the optimal settings were 70kV,50mA for adults, 50kV,100mA for juveniles and 40kV,100mA for baby.
