Brightness
represents the amount of light on an image and can still alter visualization of boney regions when kVp is not set to penetrate correctly
generally associated with the passage of the beam through the body and the attenuation of that beam in tissues
related to the quality of thebeam
Types of Contrast
Radiographic
Subjective
Radiographic Contrast
the ability to differentiate between brightness levels or gray shades on an image
high contrast = less grays
low contrast = lots of grays
Subject Contrast
related to the radiation absorption gradient of different tissues
varying tissue packing densities, atomic structure and thickness adjust the characteristic absorption quality of the object being imaged
Quantum Noise
caused by a lack of x-ray photons reaching the image receptor

BTB is affected by
kVp, beam penetration
