Air Kerma at other distances from the focal spot can be determined by the following
formula; Air Kerma (at distance of X cm from focal spot)=Air Kerma (at 20 cm from focal
spot)*[ (20cm/X)
2
].
For exposure times between table values, Air Kerma and DAP is proportional to time.
Overall deviation of the air kerma from the values shown does not exceed 40%. The exit
field size at the end of the circular collimator cone (20 cm from the focal spot) is 6 cm. The
exit field size of the rectangular cone is 3cm x 4cm.
Therefore,
DAP = mGy x 28.27cm
