Question
Answer
refers to the sharpness of structural lines recorded in the radiographic image   geometric properties  
🗑
Optimal geometric quality is achieved by maximizing the amount of ________ and minimizing the amount of ________.   maximizing recorded detail and minimizing image distortion  
🗑
refers to the distinctness or sharpness of the structural lines that make up the recorded image   recorded detail  
🗑
What alters the amount of unsharpness recorded in an image?   the size of the focal spot, SID, and OID  
🗑
Focal spot size is determined by:   the filament size  
🗑
What is a typical small focal spot size?   0.5 or 0.6 mm  
🗑
What is a typical large focal spot size?   1.0 or 1.2 mm  
🗑
What does focal spot size affect?   recorded detail  
🗑
True or False: The focal spot size affects recorded detail and can change as an z-ray tube ages.   True  
🗑
What relationship does focal spot size have with recorded detail?   inverse  
🗑
When the SID is increased, the amount of image unsharpness is ____.   decreased  
🗑
When the SID is increased, the amount of recorded detail in the image ________.   increases  
🗑
Except for chest and cervical spine radiography, what is the standard SID?   40" or 48" (100cm or 122cm)  
🗑
SID indicators should be accurate within ___% of the SID.   2%  
🗑
Optimal recorded detail is achieved when the OID is ______.   zero  
🗑
When the OID is increased, the amount of unsharpness _______.   increases  
🗑
When the OID is increased, the recorded detail ________.   decreases  
🗑
What has the greatest effect on the amount of geometric unsharpness recorded?   OID  
🗑
When increased OID is unavoidable, SID should be ________ slightly to compensate.   increased  
🗑
refers to the smallest detail that can be detected in an image   spatial resolution  
🗑
refers to images of objects that appear longer than the true objects   elongation  
🗑
refers to images that appear shorter than the true objects   foreshortening  
🗑
unsharpness resulting from patient motion   blur  
🗑
Why can't a radiographic image be an exact reconstruction of the anatomic structure?   Because some information is always lost during the process of image formation  
🗑
