Which of the following occurs when the mA is doubled?
1) The number of x-ray photons decreases by 50%.
2) Radiographic density increases.
3) There are twice as many photons in the x-ray beam.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

2 and 3 are correct because doubling the mA (milliamperage) increases the number of electrons available for x-ray production, which in turn increases the number of x-ray photons produced, leading to an increase in radiographic density.
