kVp and contrast: Low contrast many shades of grey?

I totally understand! 🦷
All the resources you will be able to pull out basically say the same thing over and over and it's the verbiage that is confusing. 😩
💁‍♀️ High kVp = many shades of gray = long scale contrast = low contrast (between each scale).I think the most confusing part is the "contrast" part. 🤦‍♀️
High contrast is may seem like it would be high kVp, but it is actually the opposite. To get black and white images, we need low kVp. ☝️
"Less attenuation" means that the shades of grey are less visibly different from one another. 🤗 Watch this video to get clarification! 🦷🦷🦷

Thank you soo much. this is the absolute BEST explanation for the relationship between kVp and Contrast!!!! even my radiology teacher could not do as good as you! AMAZING

[@evaa7246]

I understand. Thank you for helping me make a connection.

[@baaruninbalasooriya9571]

good explanation, a vet getting ready for boards. basics are the same. so was beneficial

[@drmohammedaldreawi3547]

Thank you
Could you please tell me the book you show in the vedio?

This is what I'm getting: with higher levels of kVp, you get more varying levels of photon energy; thus more levels of penetration/contrast.

If 44 KVp is used to image the Abdomen of 25 cm thickness what is the expected resulted image? why ?

[@Leah_Luxxe]

Thank you for this :)

[@SharkRockstar]

Does increasing hardness of x-ray increase contrast?

[@231mac]

I would say no since you are having less varying levels of photon energy.

perfect < 3 < 3 much loooove
