If the kilovolt peak (kVp) of an X-ray is increased, it results in higher energy X-ray photons being produced. This leads to improved penetration of the X-rays through tissues, which can enhance image contrast and reduce patient exposure time. However, excessive kVp can also increase the overall radiation dose to the patient and potentially reduce image detail due to increased scatter radiation. Balancing kVp is crucial for optimizing image quality while minimizing radiation exposure.

What happens if the kVp of an X-ray beam remains the same and the mA setting is increased?

If the kVp is kept the same but the mA is increased, the x-ray will have more contrast but there will be no increase in penetration. Increasing kV by 10 is the about the same as doubling the mAs. If the patient is large, then it is better to increase the kV. If the x-ray is too grey, then it is better to increase the mAs.

What happens if 80 kv used for 6.6 kv?

If you are asking what would happen if you applied 80 kV to a system designed for 6.6 kV, then the answer is that the insulation would break down, and a short circuit fault would occur either between conductors, or between conductors and earth (ground) or, possibly, both!

If X-ray film is to dark what should you do?

If the film is too dark, the xray needs to be retaken with lower kV and mAS settings. Xrays that are only marginally too dark can be looked at under a bright light.

What is voltage in rotor of 11 KV AC generator?

Star (or 'wye') connected alternators have a phase voltage of 6.35 kV, and a line voltage of 11 kV. Incidentally, it's 'kV', not 'KV'.


Why only 11kv is used in power systems transmission line?

It isn't. In the UK, transmission and distribution voltages are 400 kV, 275 kV, 132 kV, 66 kV, 33kV, and 11 kV.
