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 kv of xray is increased?

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.
