Determining the Half Value Layer (HVL) of the x-ray beam is the Standard method for specifying the quality of the x-ray beam. For a given kVp, a measurement of the HVL gives information on the total filtration in the x-ray beam. Too little filtration results in unnecessary radiation to the patient and too high of a HVL may require increased kVp and mAs, increasing tube loading and reducing tube life.
