The exposure to the patient may be reduced as much as 85% by doing what?

  1. Increasing exposure time

  2. Decreasing film speed

  3. Using ultra-fast film

  4. Employing higher kVp

The correct answer is: Using ultra-fast film

Using ultra-fast film can reduce the exposure to the patient by up to 85%. This is because ultra-fast film requires less exposure time compared to conventional film. Increasing exposure time (option A) would actually increase the patient's exposure, while decreasing film speed (option B) would result in poorer image quality and potentially require longer exposure times. Employing higher kVp (option D) can also reduce exposure, but not to the same extent as using ultra-fast film.
