During a fluoroscopy procedure, the x-ray technologist stands at 5 meters from the x-ray tube for 1 hour and acquires an equivalent dose of 0.1 mSv. If the technologist had stood at a distance of 1 meter, what would their dose have been?

A satisfactory x-ray of the wrist is produced using a technique of 300 milliamperes (mA), 15 milliseconds, 50 kilovoltage peak (kVp), and a source-to-image distance (SID) of 40 inches. How should the mA be changed if the exposure time is decreased to 10 milliseconds?
