The head should be at the top of the viewbox
The head should face the viewer's left with the spine at the top
The head should face the viewer's right with the spine at the top
The head should face the viewer's left with the spine at the bottom
Too dark; increase mAs or kVp
Too light; increase mAs or kVp
Too light; decrease mAs or kVp
Too dark; decrease mAs of kVp
Increase kVp by 10% to 15%; shorten wavelength increase penetrating power
Increase mAs by 10% to 15%; increase the number of x-rays reaching the film
Increase mAs by 30% to 50%; increase density
Decrease mAs by 30% to 50%; lengthen wavelength and decrease penetrating power
Increase mAs by 30% to to 50%
Increase kVp by 10% to 15%
Increase mAs by 10% to 50%
Increase kVp by 30% to 50%
Increase mAs by 50%
Incerase kVp by 15%
Decrease mAs by 15%
Decrease mAs by 50%
As kVp increases, scatter radiation decreases
KVp has no effect on scatter radiation
As kVp increases, scatter radiation can increase
As kVp decreases, scatter radiation can increase

Decrease kVp 10% to 15%
Increase mAs 30% to 50%
Increae kVp 30% to 50%
Decrease mAs 30% to 50%
