Question

question 4 / 10

increasing milliamperage (ma) influences x - ray beam quantity as it causes it to:

increase

decrease

beam quantity is unaffected when ma is increased

report this question

Explanation:

The milliamperage (mA) in an X - ray machine is directly related to the number of electrons available to strike the anode and produce X - rays. Increasing mA means more electrons are available, resulting in an increase in the number of X - rays produced, i.e., an increase in X - ray beam quantity.

Answer:

A. Increase
