    The document discusses heat units (HU) produced by different types of x-ray machines. For a single phase machine, HU is calculated as kVp x mA x sec. A technique of 120 kVp at 400 mA for 0.05 sec produces 1680 HU. For a three phase 6 pulse machine, HU is kVp x mA x sec x 1.35. A technique of 120 kVp at 600 mA for 0.005 sec produces 486 HU. For a three phase 12 pulse machine, HU is kVp x mA x sec x 1.4. A technique of 120 kVp at 600 mA for 0.005 sec

    Heat Units

    1. Single Phase Unit


    Heat units for a single phase x ray machine are determined by multiplying kVp x mA x
    sec. The technique use is 120 kVp at 400mA for 0.05 sec. The heat unit produced by this
    exposure is?
    HU= kVp x mA x s
    Given: 120 kVp x 400mA. x 0.35 sec
    Hu= 1680 HU
    2. Three Phase 6 pulse Unit
    How many heat units would be produced on a three phase 6 pulse unit when using
    a technique of 120kVp at 600mA for 0.005 sec?
    Given: 120 kVp, 20mA, 0.005 sec,
    HU= kVp * mA x s * 1.35
    HU= 120 * 600 * 0.005 * 1.35
    HU= 486
    3. Three phase 12 pulse Unit
    How many heat units would be produced on a three phase 12 pulse unit using a technique
    of 120kVp at 600mA for 0.005 sec?
    Given: 120kVp * 600mA * 0.005
    120 * 600 * 0.005 * 1.4
    HU=504
    4. High frequency Unit
    HU= kVp * mA * s *1.4
    Given: 1000mA, 0.002 sec, 120kVp
    120 * 1000 * 0.002 * 1.4
    HU= 3.36
