When the distance from the x-ray source increases, the beam intensity will:

What characteristic of the x-ray beam is influenced by changes to the source-to-image distance (SID)?

During an x-ray procedure, a technologist is exposed to an air-kerma rate of 1 mGy/hour at a distance of 3 feet from the x-ray source. What is the air-kerma rate if the technologist stands at a distance of 6 feet?

The exposure maintenance formula mathematically resembles the

A radiograph acquired at 72 inches results in a receptor exposure of 1.0 milligray (mGy). Calculate the new receptor exposure if the radiograph is acquired with the same technical factors at 60 inches.

If the patient dose is 1 mGy at a 40 inch source-to-image distance (SID), what is the patient dose at a 72 inch SID using the same technical factors?

The inherent filtration of a radiographic machine is usually composed fo the material:

If the original mAs is 10 and the SID changes from 36 inches to 72 inches, which one of these mAs values would produce a radiograph with the same IR exposure as the original taken at 10 mAs?

The purpose of beam filtration is to:

Sharpness of detail can be improved by increasing _________.
