| 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 |

| 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 |

| 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 |
