Explanation:

Kilovoltage peak (kVp) affects x - ray energy and quantity. Milliamperage (mA) is directly related to the number of electrons produced, thus affecting x - ray quantity. Distance impacts the intensity (quantity) of x - rays following the inverse - square law. Patient thickness mainly affects x - ray attenuation rather than production quantity.

Answer:

Kilovoltage peak (kVp), Milliamperage (mA), Distance
