Regarding quality assurance in radiography: a. The tube kV is tested using a dosimeter b. Tube output is assessed with an ionization chamber or a solid-state detector c. For a given mAs, the output of the tube should be constant over the entire voltage range d. Tube filtration is assessed by measuring the half-value layer (HVL) e. Light beam diaphragm alignment should be checked yearly. |

Answer» a. False. It is tested using a digital kV meter. b. True. c. False. In the range of 60–120 kV, tube output is proportional to the square of the peak kV (kVp2 ). For lower kV (e.g. in mammography), output is proportional to kVp3 . d. True. e. False. It is usually tested every 1–2 months. |
