Which of the following factors primarily controls radiographic density in the analog image?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

mAs (milliamperage-seconds) primarily controls radiographic density in the analog image. It refers to the product of the current (amperage) and the exposure time (seconds) and determines the number of x-rays that pass through the patient and reach the film. Increasing mAs increases the quantity of x-rays and results in a darker image. kV (kilovoltage) affects contrast and penetration, while film-screen speed and OID are not relevant to radiographic density in the analog image.
