A change in kVp, as an exposure factor, affects
A)average beam energy.
B)beam intensity.
C)the amount of scatter production.
D)all of the above

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A change in kVp affects all of the above factors. Increasing kVp results in an increase in the average beam energy, which can affect image contrast and penetration. Also, it increases the beam intensity which affects the amount of radiation hitting the receptor. Additionally, increasing kVp corresponds to an increase in scatter production, which can affect image quality.
