Question

question 4 / 10
increasing milliamperage (ma) will result in which of the following?
increase in x - ray beam quality
decrease in x - ray beam quality
x - ray beam quality will remain unchanged

Explanation:

The milliamperage (mA) in an x - ray machine controls the number of electrons produced at the cathode and thus the quantity of x - rays produced. X - ray beam quality is related to the energy of the x - rays, which is controlled by kilovoltage (kVp), not mA. So, changing mA does not affect x - ray beam quality.

Answer:

X-ray beam quality will remain unchanged
