Answer to Question 1

low SNR

Rationale: A low SNR may result in insufficient mAs administered, therefore, not enough photons generated.

Answer to Question 2

increase the SID

Rationale: Increasing the SID will compensate for OID between the part and the image receptor. Portable chest imaging must sustain a minimum of 40 inches, but if more distance could be achieved, then it should be applied.
