Question

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 quality of an x - ray beam is related to its energy and is mainly determined by kVp (kilovoltage peak). Milliamperage (mA) controls the quantity of x - rays produced, not the quality. Increasing mA increases the number of electrons striking the target, but does not change the energy of the individual x - rays.

Answer:

X-ray beam quality will remain unchanged
