Density and Contrast

QuestionAnswer
If you increase mAs then density will..... increase
if you decrease mAs then density will.... decrease
How are mAs and densityt related? inversely/directly directly
What is the influencing factor of density? kVp
What is the controlling factor of density? mAs
If you increase your SID then denisty will decrese/increase? decrease
If you increase OID then denisty will decrease/increase? decrease
What does filtration alter? intensity
if you decrease filtration then density will increase/decrease? increase
Filtration and density have a ____ relationship. inverse
Beam restriction will ______ scatter photons. reduce
if you increase beam restriction the density will ______. decrease
Increased part thickness will result in a _______ of density. decrease
Additive pathology will increase/decrease density. decrease
destructive pathology will increase/decrease density increase
Grids and density have a _______ relationship. inverse
A high grid ratio will do what to the density? decrease
Film/screen speed has a _______ relationship with density. direct
Film/screen speed and mAs have a _____ relationship to denisty. direct
Definition of density _______________. the degree of blackening on the film
Density is controlled by ____. mAs
____ controls the current through the xray tube. mAs
What is governed by the 15% rule ? kVp
optimal density is __-__? 0.25-2.25
grids absorb scatter radiation which affect ______. density
change ___ by 30% in order to see a visible change in denisty. mAs
when mAs is increased, SID decrease, kVp is increased, FSS is increased, grid ratio is decreased, beam restriction is dcreased......... density will _______. increase
The difference between adjacnt densities is ________. Contrast
The controlling factor of contrast is ___. kVp
If you increase kVp then contrast will increase/decrease. decrease
Few shades of gray, low kVp, short scale, narrow latitude will have a (high/low) contrast? high
Many shades of gray, high kVp, long scale, wide latitude will have a (high/low) contrast. low
If you increase mAs contrast will ____________. Do nothing (no effect)
Does the anode heel effect affect contrast? No
If you increase SID contrast will _______. increase
Distance and Contrast are (directly/inversely) related? directly
If you increase filtration contrast will _______. decrease
If you increase beam restriction contrast will ______. increase
Additive pathology will (increase/decrease) contrast. decrease
Destructive pathology will (increase/decrease) contrast. increase
A higher grid ratio will (increase/decrease) contrast. increase
Will Film screen speed effect contrast? no
Does film processing effect contrast? Yes.
Increase temp time or rate of film processing the contrast will (increase/decrease) decrease
Decreasing temp, time or rate during film processing will (increase/decrease) contrast. increase
the difference between adjacent tissues or shades of gray contrast
contrast is controlled by ___. kVp
three forms of contrast are _____,______,______. film, subject, developer
What would you use to to calculate the change in beam intensity? inverse sqaure law
primary function of contrast is to ____ _____ _____. make detail visible
what is produced by the photoelectric effect? contrast
Short scale contrast is produced by _ _____ ___. a lower kVp
High contrast has a (long/short) scale contrast. short (few shades of gray)
Long scale contrast will have (low/high) contrast. low
low contrast is produced at (high/low) kvp. high
many shades of gray will have a (low/high) contrast. low
Because grids reduce the amount of scatter contrast is (increased/decreased) increased
Films with a (wide/narrow) latitude will have short scale contrast which means there are few shades of gray. narrow

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.
