Question
question 42 / 50 which of the following describes the relationship between filtration, beam quality, and patient dose? as filtration increases: quality increases and dose decreases quality increases and dose increases quality decreases and dose decreases quality decreases and dose increases
In medical - imaging and radiation - related contexts, filtration removes low - energy photons from the x - ray beam. This results in a higher quality (more penetrating) beam. Also, as the low - energy photons that contribute less to the diagnostic image but more to patient exposure are removed, the patient dose decreases.
