Radiation that is reflected from behind the image plane back to the image Back Scatter
When will scatter be noticeable on film? The film is darkened and the contrast is decreased.
The measurable difference between two adjacent densities Contrast
Degree of blackness on film Density
Density is influenced by ... mAs and kVp
If the radiograph is too dark what do you change first? mAs
Short Scale/ Black and White/ Bone/ Lower kVp High Contrast
Long Scale/ Soft tissue/ Higher kVp Low Contrast
If you need to increase your mAs, you would increase it by what % 30-50%
If you are overexposed you will lower your mAs and kVp by what percent? mAs is 30%to50% and kVp is by 10-15%
Underexposed? you will increase by what percent? mAs is 30%to50% and kVp is by 10-15%
