When developing a fixed kVp exposure system it is important to remember that
A)tube heat loading increases
B)the optimal kVp selected is the maximum kVp established
C)exposure times may be longer.
D)a single kVp value is acceptable for all body parts and thicknesses.

Question

The optimal kVp selected should not necessarily be the maximum kVp established. Instead, it should be chosen based on the anatomy being imaged and the desired image quality. The other choices are incorrect because tube heat loading actually decreases with a fixed kVp system, exposure times may actually be shorter, and a single kVp value is not suitable for all body parts and thicknesses.
