Relationship between adequate X-ray energy and body thickness. At the 20 cm body thickness of human chest, about 37 keV is the most adequate X-ray energy to image the coronary artery. X-ray exposure to the patients would be reduced at this higher X-ray energy than that just above the K-edge energy without reducing the image contrast.
