Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The total quantity of X-ray photons produced during an exposure is primarily determined by the mAs setting on the X-ray machine, as it controls the amount of current passing through the X-ray tube and the length of time in which the exposure occurs. Therefore, Option D is the correct answer. Other factors such as kVp can affect the quality or energy level of the X-ray photons produced, but not the quantity. SID and mA can affect the intensity of the X-ray beam, but not the overall quantity of photons produced.
