Over exposed xrays will look?

Over exposed xrays will look?

• A. Bright
• B. Gray
• C. Dark
• D. White

Answer: (C)

Exposure controls image density: more exposure increases density, making the image darker as more photons reach the receptor. When an X-ray is overexposed, there are too many photons reaching the film or detector, so the image becomes too dark and details in dense structures can be lost. In contrast, underexposure yields a pale or white (low-density) image, while mid exposure appears gray. So an overexposed radiograph looks dark.
