A stepwedge will reveal that radiographs taken at a higher kVp will have ____ versus radiographs taken at a lower kVp.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A stepwedge is a tool used to measure the contrast and density of a radiograph. When using a stepwedge, radiographs taken at a higher kVp will have a long-scale contrast, meaning there is a wider range of gray shades visible. Radiographs taken at a lower kVp will have a shorter, higher contrast range with a greater difference between black and white areas. Therefore, option A is the correct answer. Option B is incorrect because higher contrast is actually associated with lower kVp. Option C and D are also incorrect because radiographs taken at different kVps will reveal more than just two densities and will not necessarily have many areas of black and white.
