Light (thin) images may result from each of the following EXCEPT one. Which one is the EXCEPTION?
A) Placing the image receptor (film) in the mouth backward
B) Not depressing the exposure button for the duration of the cycle
C) Using an mA setting that was too high
D) Developing in weak processing solutions

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Using an mA setting that is too high would actually result in a darker image, not a lighter one. The mA (milliamperage) setting controls the amount of X-ray beam produced, with higher mA settings increasing the density of the image. Options A, B, and D would all contribute to lighter images due to various factors like improper film placement, insufficient exposure time, and weak development process, respectively.
