Question

increasing milliamperage (ma) results in which of the following?
increased beam quantity and increased beam quality
increased beam quantity and decreases beam quality
increased beam quantity
increased beam quality

Explanation:

In X - ray production, milliamperage (mA) is directly related to the number of electrons crossing the X - ray tube per second, which in turn affects the quantity of X - rays produced (beam quantity). Increasing mA increases the number of electrons available to interact with the anode, thus increasing the beam quantity. Beam quality (energy of the X - ray photons) is mainly determined by kVp (kilovoltage peak) and not by mA.

Answer:

Increased beam quantity
