A patient requires a lower extremity x-ray, but previous images were blurry due to patient movement. The technologist has the following technique options: Option 1: 65 kVp, 100 mA, 0.5 sec Option 2: 70 kVp, 200 mA, 0.25 sec Option 3: 80 kVp, 400 mA, 0.125 sec   Which technique should the technologist choose to minimize motion blur while maintaining image quality? Explain your reasoning based on exposure time, patient dose, and image contrast considerations.
