"target-to-film distance: increase in distance reduces heel effect by allowing more divergence of the beam which produces a more uniform image"

Line 8:148 · 'more uniform' is not comparable

"field size: the field will be more uniform at the centre (i.e. smaller field size) due to the collimator absorbing the peripheral variations"

Line 9:38 · 'more uniform' is not comparable

"positioning: by aligning higher attenuating material towards the cathode and lower attenuating material towards the anode the resulting field is more uniform"

Line 10:153 · 'more uniform' is not comparable

"Anode heel effect can benefit in X-ray imaging by aligning the anode-cathode axis parallel to thinner-thicker sections of the patient's body, thereby equalising the patient's exposure to X-rays and producing a more uniform image. Utilising the anode heel effect in this manner has demonstrated improvements in the imaging of kidneys, ureter, and bladder (KUB), skull, chest, pelvis, abdomen, thoracic, lumbar, and extremities ²."
