Question
how does increasing kilovoltage peak (kvp) influence the characteristics of the x - ray beam?
decreased quantity and increased quality
decreased quantity and decreased quality
increased quantity and decreased quality
increased quantity and increased quality
Increasing kVp in an X - ray tube causes more electrons to be accelerated with higher energy towards the target. This leads to an increase in the number of X - rays produced (quantity) and also an increase in their average energy (quality).
