It is desirable, for the purpose of minimizing patient dose and the time required to expose an image, that the effective kilovoltage be as close as possible to the chosen peak values. For this reason, well-filtered three-phase or high-frequency x-ray generators are preferred. 2, record 1, English, - X%2Dray%20generator
