| The primary purpose of adding filtration to the x-ray beam is to: | remove low-energy x-rays (Bushong, p. 157) |
| What is the term used to describe the reduction in x-ray intensity that results from absorption and scatter? | attenuation (Bushong, p. 155) |
| The energy of the Compton-scattered x-ray is equal to the difference between the energy of what two things? | the energy of the incident x-ray and the energy of the ejected electron (Bushong, p. 164) |
| How does Compton scatter affect image contrast? | It reduces contrast (Bushong, p. 165) |
