| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| 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 |
