Question
which two of the following technical modifications will decrease beam quality? (select two) increased kilovoltage peak (kvp) decreased kilovoltage peak (kvp) increased filtration decreased filtration increased distance
Increasing the kilovoltage peak (kVp) can lead to a more heterogeneous beam and decreased beam quality as it allows for higher - energy x - rays that may not be as well - controlled. Decreasing filtration means more low - energy, unwanted x - rays are present in the beam, which also degrades beam quality.
