Question

question 7 / 10
increasing filtration has what effect on the x - ray beam?
increased quantity and increased quality
decreased quantity and decreased quality
decreased quantity and increased quality
increased quantity and decreased quality

Explanation:

Increasing filtration removes low - energy photons from the x - ray beam. This reduces the number of photons (quantity) but increases the average energy of the remaining photons, thus increasing the quality of the x - ray beam.

Answer:

Decreased quantity and increased quality
