- 6.An overexposed film appears _______; to correct this, ___________.
- A.
Too dark; increase mAs or kVp
- B.
Too light; increase mAs or kVp
- C.
Too light; decrease mAs or kVp

Too dark; decrease mAs of kVp
- 7.What action should be taken if it is difficult to see anatomic silhouettes on an abdominal film and the film is too light? Why?
- A.
Increase kVp by 10% to 15%; shorten wavelength increase penetrating power

Increase mAs by 30% to to 50%
- B.
Increase kVp by 10% to 15%
- C.
Increase mAs by 10% to 50%
- D.
Increase kVp by 30% to 50%
- 9.A thoracic film is too dark. The bone tissue is relatively white. What is the next step?
- A.
Increase mAs by 50%
- B.
Incerase kVp by 15%
- C.
Decrease mAs by 15%
- D.
Decrease mAs by 50%
- 10.How does kVp affect scatter radiation?
- A.
As kVp increases, scatter radiation decreases
- B.
KVp has no effect on scatter radiation
- C.
As kVp increases, scatter radiation can increase
