Mean exposure time in the respective plane (ETap or ETlat) in minutes of the entire collective (all), case group 1–44 and case group 45–60. Exposure times are broken down into minutes/level for single level cases and minutes per level for multi-level cases. Minimum and maximum values are respectively listed in brackets
