P.S So there'd also be 3 chambers on the bucky table when carrying out an X-ray of say, an abdomen when the patient is lying down?
So, just to clarify, an ionization chamber is bascially there to makre sure that no more mAs/photons reach the image receptor than originally set by the technician?
IE, if you set an mAs of 15, once the ion chambers detects 15mAs, the exposure is stopped?
