Explanation:

Question 1

The three prime factors affecting X - ray emission are tube current (mA), tube voltage (kVp), and filtration. Tube current determines the number of electrons hitting the anode, tube voltage affects the energy of electrons, and filtration modifies the X - ray beam quality.

The unit of measurement for X - ray quantity (intensity) is the roentgen (R) or in SI units, coulomb per kilogram (C/kg). The roentgen measures the amount of ionization in air produced by X - rays.

Answer:

1. Tube Current (mA)
2. Tube Voltage (kVp)
3. Filtration
