If the mAs of a radiograph is increased from 10 to 20, the resulting radiograph will exhibit
A)decreased radiographic film density.
B)decreased radiographic contrast.
C)increased radiographic film density.
D)increased radiographic contrast.

Question

Increasing the mAs will increase the amount of exposure to the radiographic film, resulting in increased film density (darker radiograph). This is because more photons are reaching the film, causing more silver halide crystals to be exposed and developed. Contrast is not directly affected by changes in mAs.
