Of the choices below, the combination of exposure factors that would minimize patient dose would be
A)24 mAs, 80 kVp, 8"x10" field size, 44" SID
B)12 mAs, 92 kVp, 8"x10" field size, 40" SID
C)6 mAs, 106 kVp, 8"x10" field size, 44" SID
D)24 mAs, 80 kVp, 10"x12" field size, 40" SID

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To minimize patient dose, we should use the highest kVp possible with the lowest mAs possible, while still achieving appropriate image quality. Choice C has the lowest mAs and the highest kVp out of the options given, making it the best choice for minimizing patient dose. The 8"x10" field size and 44" SID also help to reduce dose.
