As image contrast depends on kV values used, note that while an increase in the kV value
may reduce the radiation dose to the patient, it will reduce the contrast of the image.
A reduction in the kV value improves film contrast but increases the radiation dose to the
patient.
The choice of priority to dose reduction or to optimum contrast is left to the discretion of the
operator.
Use of the AOP Mode provides the best quality/dose compromise for each priority selected
by the operator.
