The radiation intensity from a diagnostic x-ray unit will vary in a/an
A)direct relationship with mAs.
B)direct relationship with the square of the kVp.
C)inverse relationship with the square of the distance.
D)all of the above

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The radiation intensity from a diagnostic x-ray unit depends on several factors including mAs, kVp and distance. The intensity is directly proportional to mAs (A), and the square of kVp (B). On the other hand, the intensity is inversely proportional to the square of the distance (C). Therefore, all the options given in the question are correct, and the best choice is D (all of the above).
