| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What technique factor is responsible for controllinf beam penetrability? | kVp |
| if kvp is changed from 65 to 75, how will contrast be affected? | Contrast will decrease; they are indirectly proportional; Low contrast will result. |
| if the mA station is changed from 200 to 800, how will density be affected. | It will increase four times because; mAs is directly proportional to density. |
