Questions and Answers

What type of x-radiation is characteristic of the target element?

  • X-rays produced by added filtration
  • Bremsstrahlung x-rays (correct)
  • X-rays with the highest intensity
  • X-rays with the lowest energy
  • How does a change in mA or mAs affect the x-ray emission spectrum?

  • Increases the average energy of the x-ray beam
  • Results in a proportional change in the amplitude at all energies (correct)
  • Shifts the position of the emission spectrum to the right
  • Reduces the quality of the x-ray beam
  • What happens when kVp is raised?

  • The area under curve increases by approximating the square of the factor by which kVp was increased (correct)
  • The x-ray quantity decreases by half
  • The x-ray quality becomes inconsistent
  • The x-ray intensity reduces significantly
