1. What is the KVP 20 to 40 kvp
range for mammog-
raphy?
2. Lower kvp results in enhance in the image contrast for a better image
3. What is a cathode? A helical shaped tungsten filament
4. What is an anode? it rotates to allow higher mA to be used with exposure times of less than 1
second. Higher mA increases the image contrast.
