Question

multiple choice 1 point
if beam quality is increased, what would need to be adjusted to maintain beam quantity?
kvp increased
mas increased
mas decreased
no change needed

Explanation:

In X - ray imaging, beam quality is related to the energy (kVp) and beam quantity is related to the number of photons which is controlled by mAs. When beam quality (kVp) is increased, to maintain the same beam quantity (number of photons), the mAs should be increased as they are related in maintaining the overall exposure.

Answer:

B. mAs increased
