| If a rad technique of 300 mA, 1/5 sec, 70 kV produces 80mR at 40", what would a technique of 400 mA, 1/3 sec, 70kV produce at 40"? a. 90mR b. 120mR c. 160mR d. 360mR | c. 160mR (convert mA x sec to mAs, then create a ratio 60mAs/133mAs = 80mR/X, where x is unknown, then cross multiply and answer comes out to 177) 160mR is closes to answer |
