When a conventional x-ray machine is used with digital radiography, the x-ray machine should be capable of producing ____ kV.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A conventional x-ray machine used with digital radiography typically requires a lower kV range compared to film-screen systems, typically around 70 kV. This is because digital systems have a wider dynamic range and can capture a greater range of shades of grey than film, allowing for a lower kV to be used while still maintaining image quality.
