Purpose of ‘reproducibility of exposure test is’
|
|
To determine the variation in average mAs over a number of exposures at the same generator setting
|
|
|
To determine the variation in average kVp over a number of exposures at the same generator setting
|
|
|
Either A or B
|
|
|
None of the above
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Exposures made at the same kVp and mA stations of the same phantom thickness should produce the same optical density on the resulting image. This is referred to as reproducibility (Papp, 2011, p.
Detailed explanation-2: -kVp controls the penetrating strength of an x-ray beam (beam quality). Whenever an exposure is made, the x-rays must be energetic (strong enough) to adequately penetrate through the area of interest. The higher the kVp, the more likely the x-ray beam will be able to penetrate through thicker or more dense material.
