Question

a radiograph in front of you appears dark. you note that the bones are gray. what is the most appropriate change to make when retaking this film

Answer 1

Decrease the kilovoltage peak(kVp) by 10%

Kilovoltage peak is referred to as kVp. This is the maximum voltage that the X-ray machine will produce during an exposure.

For instance, if 80 kVp is chosen, the maximum power of x-rays produced during this exposure is 80 kilovolts.

The degree of contrast is controlled by kVp means the radiographic contrast decreases as the kVp rises. Increasing kVp also increases the image's overall density (darkness).

Therefore it is best to decrease the kVp by 10% for the next radiograph as a relatively minor change in kVp can have a big impact on the image.
