decreased kVp and decreased mAs
increased kVp and decreased mAs
decreased kVp and increased mAs
increased kVp and increased mAs


increased kVp and decreased mAs

Rationale: To keep patient dose in consideration, kVp should be selected that will adequately penetrate the part of interest, while mAs should remain as low as possible. Increasing the mAs factor can contribute most significantly to patient dose.
