Question
an increase of which two factors will decrease the quantity of the x - ray beam? (select two)
kilovoltage peak (kvp)
milliamperage (ma)
filtration
distance
In X - ray physics, increasing filtration absorbs more low - energy photons, reducing the quantity of the X - ray beam. Also, according to the inverse - square law, increasing the distance between the source and the object reduces the intensity (quantity) of the X - ray beam. Increasing kilovoltage peak (kVp) and milliamperage (mA) generally increase the quantity of the X - ray beam.
