It increases patient dose
How does decreasing kVp while maintaining mAs affect patient dose?
It decreases patient dose
Which factor should be compensated if there is an increase in kVp to reduce patient dose?
mAs
What is the importance of selecting the highest possible kilovoltage consistent with image quality?
To reduce radiation dose to the patient
