Question

question 16/40 which of the following statements describes the relationship between milliamperage (ma) and receptor exposure? receptor exposure is inversely proportional to the square of the milliamperage (ma) receptor exposure is directly proportional to the milliamperage (ma) receptor exposure is directly proportional to the square of the milliamperage (ma) receptor exposure is inversely proportional to the milliamperage (ma)

Explanation:

In radiography, the amount of x - ray photons reaching the receptor (receptor exposure) is directly related to the milliamperage (mA). When mA is increased, more electrons are available to strike the anode and produce more x - ray photons, increasing receptor exposure.

Answer:

Receptor exposure is directly proportional to the milliamperage (mA)
