In radiography, problems frequently rise with imaging obese patients and there is an associated increase in radiation dose and image quality (IQ) reduction [2]. Problems can include additional X-ray beam attenuation, increased scatter radiation and longer exposure times which can result in motion artefacts [2-4]. Currently, no studies have been published to investigate the influence of obesity on IQ when undertaking adult chest X-ray (CXR) using standard imaging clinical protocols, between and within hospitals.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/scholar.google.com\/citations?view_op=view_citation&#038;hl=en&#038;user=96yF7IkAAAAJ&#038;sortby=pubdate&#038;citation_for_view=96yF7IkAAAAJ:hqOjcs7Dif8C\">View article<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Aims and objectives The number of overweight and obese people has increased rapidly over recent years in numerous countries [1]. &#8230; <a class=\"cz_readmore\" href=\"https:\/\/old.alzahraa.edu.iq\/english\/archives\/11600\"><i class=\"fas fa-caret-left\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><span>Read more<\/span><\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":11620,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1169],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/old.alzahraa.edu.iq\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11600"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/old.alzahraa.edu.iq\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/old.alzahraa.edu.iq\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/old.alzahraa.edu.iq\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/old.alzahraa.edu.iq\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11600"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/old.alzahraa.edu.iq\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11600\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/old.alzahraa.edu.iq\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/11620"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/old.alzahraa.edu.iq\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11600"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/old.alzahraa.edu.iq\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11600"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/old.alzahraa.edu.iq\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11600"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
