as scatter goes up, contrast goes down? yes, it is inverse.

doubling kvp=doubling exposure=15% + kvp?

is it safer to increase mas vs kvp?

compton= scatter, photoelectric= absorbtion

contrast stuffs relationship:

what bustos says about factors affecting contrast:

look at the slides for KVP, KVP is the primary controlling facter bc it is the
primary controller of diff of attenuation which affects contrast.

the relationship b/w kvp and contrast is inverse.

the relationship b/w scatter

if correct exposure applied for procedure, should have no effect on contrast.

only if grossly over/under exposed.

focal spot size. (detail)

should have no effect on exposure.

anode heel affect normally no contrast

normally SID wont have affect on contrast unless it's egergious.

OID will affect contrast.

-air gap tech=less scatter=less shades of gray=shorter scale=increase contrast
<directly related>

filtration = increase avg energy beam= increase scatter= longer scale contrast=
overall low contrast

collimation= direct relationship to conrast. increasing field size, reducing

collimation or beam restriction will produce low contrast

anatomical part:11:20 on the voice recording

tissue thickness:
-inverse relationship

tissue density:
-indirect relationship
-look for (amount of tissue in a given area) vs tightly packed atoms

GRIDS:17:40
to improve contrast via absorbing scatter, making contrast increase. meaning it is
a direct relatoiship.

the more effecient the grid, the higher the contrast.

grid ratio going up means to increase contrast
a lower frequency = a more effecient grid.= more lead.

k factor measures efficiency of the grid, means : 20:43

k factor is directly related.

LONGER SCALE OF CONTRAST= AN INCREASE IN THE SCALE OF CONTRAST=LOTS OF SHADES OF

GRAY

RS has a direct relationship to exposure and contrast.
