Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Changing the kilovoltage primarily affects the image contrast, and secondarily affects the image density. An inverse relationship exists between kilovoltage and contrast and a direct relationship between kilovoltage and density. Therefore, an increase in kilovoltage will also increase the radiographic density but will decrease the radiographic contrast.
