ARRT registry review

QuestionAnswer
What can be measured with a pinhole camera, slit camera, or star-pattern-type resolution device? (232) Focal-spot size
What is the term that refers to the abnormal distention of the pulmonary alveoli or tissue spaces with air? (246) Emphysema
The larger the matrix size, the better the __________? (253) Image resolution
What system moves film from solution to solution between rollers, changing the direction of the film around critical turns? (267) Transport System
True or False. The shortest possible exposure time should be used to minimize motion unsharpness? (236) True
What is the term that is used to define a grainy, spotted, or freckled appearance? (249) Quantum noise or mottle
What are used in radiography to trap scattered radiation that would otherwise cause fog on the radiograph? (258) Grids
What is the sum of film emulsion contrast and subject contrast? (262) Radiographic contrast
What type of distortion is caused by misalignment of the x-ray tube, the part to be radiographed, and the IR film? (270) Shape distortion
As grid ratio increases, more penetration and greater production of scattered radiation occur, producing what kind of contrast scale? (255) Longer scale
What is defined as the heigh of the lead strips to the width of the interspace material? (237) Grid ratio

How is SID related to recorded detail and resolution? (256) Directly
Name the law that the intensity or exposure rate of radiation is inversely proportional to the square of the distance from its source? (264) Inverse-square law
Pneumoperitoneum is an abnormal accumulation of air in the peritoneal cavity and would require a what in exposure factors? (264) Decrease
What is the percentage range of humidity that x-ray film should be stored in? (268) 40-60%
What is the factor for a 8:1 grid ratio? (274) 4
Reproducibility testing should specify that radiation output be consistent to within how much percentage? (271) +/- 5%
One way to alter image contrast and/ or brightness is through? (235) Windowing
A 15% decrease in kilovoltage means that the mAs must be what? (245) Multiplied by 2

The single most important factor regulating radiographic contrast is? (256) Kilovoltage

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
