Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A 5 mm renal calculi is a very small and non-life-threatening condition that does not require any change in exposure technique. Option A is incorrect because an increase in mAs of 25% is not necessary for this condition. Option C is incorrect because there is no mention of associated ascites in the patient's history. Option D is incorrect because a decrease in kVp is not appropriate in this situation.
