Higher kVp values produce more scatter and reduce contrast, but they also reduce patient entrance skin exposure (ESE). It is important to balance the need for reduced ESE with the potential loss of image contrast that comes with higher kVp values. A significant loss of image contrast may make it difficult to diagnose certain conditions, so it is important to choose the appropriate kVp values for each individual patient and imaging scenario. Digital processing software can help to correct for some of the loss of contrast caused by higher kVp values, but it cannot completely restore the lost image detail.
