Question
an increase in which three of the following will increase the quantity of the x - ray beam? (select three)
source - to - image distance (sid)
exposure time
milliampereage (ma)
kilovoltage peak (kvp)
Exposure time determines the duration x - rays are emitted, more time means more x - rays. Milliamperage controls the number of electrons flowing through the x - ray tube, higher mA gives more x - rays. Kilovoltage peak affects the energy and quantity of x - rays, an increase in kVp can increase x - ray quantity. Source - to - image distance has an inverse relationship with x - ray intensity (quantity at the image), increasing SID decreases x - ray quantity.
