Question
an increase in which three of the following will increase the quantity of the x - ray beam? (select three)
source - to - image distance (sid)
exposure time
milliampereage (ma)
kilovoltage peak (kvp)
Exposure time, milliamperage, and kilovoltage peak affect x - ray beam quantity. Longer exposure time means more x - rays are produced. Higher milliamperage increases the number of electrons striking the target, thus more x - rays. Higher kilovoltage peak also increases the x - ray output. Source - to - image distance affects x - ray intensity by the inverse - square law and does not increase the quantity of the x - ray beam produced at the source.
