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. |
