1.

Increasing the tube potential: a. Improves film contrast b. Increases the dose to the patient c. Reduces the exposure time d. Increases geometric unsharpness e. Has no effect on motion unsharpness

Answer»

a. False. It decreases film contrast by reducing the probability of photoelectric absorption in tissues and increasing the scattered radiation contributing to the final image. 

b. False. The beam is more penetrating; therefore, less radiation is required to produce an adequate image. 

c. True. 

d. False. It has no effect. 

e. False. Using a higher kV reduces the required exposure time so it can indirectly reduce motion unsharpness.
