With digital imaging using AEC, if an AP thoracic spine is imaged using 110 kVp instead of 80 kVp, the patient exposure is _______________________. (Assume all other factors are appropriate.)

Using a higher kVp (110 kVp instead of 80 kVp) generally results in lower patient exposure because it allows for more penetration and requires less mAs to achieve the same image quality, thus reducing the overall radiation dose.
