In radiography, the exposure index (EI), as per the International Electrotechnical Commission standard, depends on the incident beam quality and exposure dose to the digital radiography system. Today automatic exposure control (AEC) systems are commonly employed to obtain the optimal image quality. An AEC system can maintain a constant incident exposure dose on the image receptor regardless of the patient thickness. In this study, we investigated the relationship between body thickness, entrance surface dose (ESD), EI, and the exposure indicator (S value) with the aim of using EI as the dose optimization tool in digital chest radiography (posterior–anterior and lateral projection). The exposure condition from the Korean national survey for determining diagnostic reference levels and two digital radiography systems (photostimulable phosphor plate and indirect flat panel detector) were used. As a result, ESD increased as the phantom became thicker with constant exposure indicator, which indicates similar settings to an AEC system, but the EI indicated comparatively constant values without following the tendency of ESD. Therefore, body thickness should be considered under the AEC system for introducing EI as the dose optimization tool in digital chest radiography.
