Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the effects of high kVp techniques on radiographic image quality in digital systems, suggesting that these methods can reduce radiation doses without compromising image quality.
- The research involved analyzing pelvis and lumbar spine radiographs from a hospital archive, using a visual grading rubric to assess image quality across different kVp settings.
- Results showed significant dose reduction with higher kVp while maintaining comparable image quality scores, validating the high kVp technique as effective for minimizing patient radiation exposure.

Introduction: This study reports the development of a new, accurate and reproducible method which combines histological and computer techniques for the determination of fatty load in cholesterol-fed rabbits.
Methods: New Zealand male rabbits were randomly divided into three groups. The animals in group 1 (control) received neither cholesterol nor drugs.
