Question

question 21 / 50
an increase in kilovoltage peak (kvp) results in which of the following?
increased x - ray beam quantity
decreased x - ray beam quantity
no change in x - ray beam quantity

Explanation:

In X - ray production, an increase in kilovoltage peak (kVp) causes more electrons to be accelerated with higher energy towards the anode. This leads to more X - ray photons being produced, thus increasing the X - ray beam quantity.

Answer:

Increased x - ray beam quantity
