Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

All three conditions, Multiple myeloma, Emphysema, and Osteoporosis, involve changes in tissue density that would require a decrease in exposure technique to properly image the affected areas. Multiple myeloma and osteoporosis result in less dense bones, while emphysema leads to increased air content in the lungs, all of which reduce the amount of X-ray absorption and thus require less exposure.
