Match the following exams with the appropriate minimum kVp level to penetrate the part:

Using high mAs can compensate for insufficient x-ray beam penetrability.

The exposure factor that primarily controls the x-ray beam quantity is:

From an original technique of 40 mAs at 98 kVp, which of the following techniques would increase subject contrast in the remnant x-ray beam while at the same time maintaining overall exposure intensity to the image receptor plate? 

Which of the following factors go into deciding the optimum kVp? 

Which of the following are types of image noise?

A radiograph is produced using 20 mAs at 76 kVp. To cut the exposure in half, what kVp should be used? Round to the nearest whole number and include the correct answer units.

When many shades of gray are visible on a radiograph:

A cross lateral hip x-ray was taken using 78 kVp and 60 mAs. The proximal hip was under penetrated which caused the resulting image to be underexposed. What new technique would demonstrate increased penetration on the radiograph and double the image receptor exposure? Round to the nearest whole number and include the correct answer units.

Increasing the kVp for an exposure will:
