Question

which of the following will add to the patient dose, but not to the diagnostic quality of the x - ray image?
low energy photons
low energy electrons
high energy photons
high energy electrons

Explanation:

X - ray imaging involves photons. Low - energy photons are absorbed by the patient without contributing to the image formation as they do not penetrate well. High - energy photons contribute to image quality and high - energy electrons are not relevant in standard x - ray imaging context. Low - energy electrons are also not relevant in this context.

Answer:

Low energy photons
