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:

Low - energy photons are absorbed by the patient's body rather than contributing to the formation of a clear x - ray image. They just add to the radiation dose received by the patient. High - energy photons are more likely to pass through the body and contribute to image formation. Electrons are not the primary agents in x - ray imaging; x - rays are photons.

Answer:

Low energy photons
