An increase in the number of photons reaching the image receptor is normally associated with a/an:

When the 15% rule is used to increase contrast:

Kilovoltage peak (kVp) in the x-ray tube is the unit of measurement describing:

Adjustments in kVp should be used to control

You select an exposure of 400 mA at 1/40 sec. Your supervising technologist instruct you to change the technique to 200 mA at 1/20 sec. Will the change make a difference in the receptor exposure?

Ten kVp is considered a 15% change in which of these kVp ranges?

You select an exposure of 400 mA at 1/40 sec. Your supervising technologist instruct you to change the technique to 200 mA at 1/20 sec. Will the change make a difference in the receptor exposure?

The 15% rule should NOT be used in which of the following circumstances:

If you want a 10 mAs exposure and have selected the 50 mA station, what time in seconds is needed to produce the desired mAs? (Use decimal notation, and a leading zero if necessary.)

The length of the x-ray exposure is determined by the:
