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 controlled by kVp (kilovoltage peak). Milliamperage (mA) controls the quantity of x - rays (number of photons). Increasing mA only increases the number of x - ray photons produced and does not affect the energy of the individual photons which determines the beam quality.

Answer:

X-ray beam quality will remain unchanged
