After 15 minutes of administration of Atrovent, a post-bronchodilator spirometry test was performed.The following are the results of the pre/post spirometry:Parameters     Predicted        Pre-bronchodilator               Post-bronchodilator                                         Actual     %predicted              Actual     %predictedFVC                5.28 L          4.11 L            78%                  4.13 L            78%FEV1              3.24 L          2.43 L            75%                  2.76 L            77%PEFR              9.5 L/s        7.3 L/s           76%                  7.3 L/s            76%FEF25-75          4.4 L/s        3.04 L/s         69 %                 3.1 L/s           70%

Reducing the kVp frоm 110 tо 80 with nо аdditionаl chаnges will result in: A decrease in scatter production A decrease in patient absorption A decrease in x-ray beam energy
