A radiograph of a clavicle is taken using 12 mAs at 60 kVp with a 5:1 grid.  If an 8:1 grid is employed for the same exposure, what will the new mAs be?

Which of the following statements concerning grids are true? A grid cleans up scatter, which improves image contrast. The grid conversion factor is the amount of increase in kVp necessary when converting from nongrid to grid technique. A grid’s primary purpose is for radiation protection. A grid’s main function is to prevent Compton scatter from reaching the IR. Grids prevent the production of scatter.
