• A)kVp values that are too high reduce density and recorded detail.
• B)kVp values that are too high produce more scatter and reduce contrast.
• C)a significant loss of image contrast is not a reason to avoid higher kVp values in order to reduce ESE.
• D)the digital processing software will correct for any kVp value regardless of how high it is in value.
