Q6 What is quantum mottle?
A. |
A grainy appearance on an image due to fewer x-rays creating the image |
|
B. |
An increase in contrast due to using a fixed kVp chart |
|
C. |
A grainy appearance on an image due to more x-rays creating the image |

|
C. |
Choosing factors on a technique chart |
|
D. |

1. Ans- A) Decreased kVp for smaller patients increases radiographic contrats.
In actual terms higher subject contrast areas usually required larger kVp so as to result in low radipgraphy contrast image.
