Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To compensate for the reduction of radiation reaching the image receptor (IR) when a grid is used, the mAs (milliampere-seconds) is typically increased. This adjustment is necessary because the grid absorbs some of the scatter radiation, which reduces the overall amount of radiation reaching the IR, necessitating an increase in mAs to maintain image quality.
