RAD456 Reg. Review

ARRT Registry Review: Image Acquisition and Evaluation

QuestionAnswer
Misalignment of the tube-part-IR relationship results in what? Shape distortion Lange Q&A pg. 179
The component of a CR image plate that records the radiologic image? Photostimulable phosphor Lange Q&A pg. 181
The process of "windowing" of digital images determines what on the image? Image contrast Lange Q&A pg. 196
What is the purpose of the thin layer of lead that is often located in the rear portion of an IP? To prevent scatter radiation fog Lange Q&A pg. 196
The purpose of the electroconductive layer of a CR PSP plate is to what? To facilitate transportation through the scanner/reader Lange Q&A pg 196
The exposure factors of 400 mA, 17 ms, and 82 kV produce a milliampere-seconds value of? 6.8 Lange Q&A pg. 197
The radiographic accessory used to measure the thickness of body parts in order to get optimal selection of exposure factors is termed what? A caliper Lange Q&A pg. 197
The x-ray image seen on the computer display monitor is what type of image? Analog image Lange Q&A pg. 197
A particular mAs value, regardless of the combination of milliamperes and time, will reproduce the same receptor exposure. This is a statement of what law? Reciprocity law Lange Q&A pg. 199
If 300 mA has been selected for a particular exposure, what exposure time would be required to produce 6 mAs? 20 ms Lange Q&A pg. 199
In digital imaging, as DEL size decrease, what happens to spatial resolution? Spatial resolution increase also Lange Q&A pg. 199
The relationship between the height of a grid's lead strips and the distance between them is referred to as grid.... ratio Lange Q&A pg. 200
A satisfactory radiograph of the abdomen was made at a 38 in. SID using 400 mA, 60 ms exposure, and 80 kV. If the distance is changed to 42 in, what new exposure time would be required? 73 ms Lange Q&A pg. 203
Why is a very short exposure time essential in chest radiography? To minimize involuntary motion Lange Q&A pg. 203
In digital imaging, TFT DEL size is related to what? Spatial resolution Lange Q&A pg. 204
A SF x-ray image made using 300 mA, 0.1 second, and 75 kV exhibits motion unsharpness but otherwise satisfactory technique. The image will be repeated using a shorter exposure time. Using 86 kV and 400 mA, what should be the new exposure time? 37 ms Lange Q&A pg. 205
When involuntary motion must be considered in SF imaging, the exposure time may be cut in half if the kV is what? Increased by 15% Lange Q&A pg. 206
Initial exposure made using 300 mA and .06 second with a 200 speed screen-film combo. An additional x-ray is requested using a 400 speed system to reduce blurriness. Using 400 mA, all other factors remaining constant, what should be the new time? 22 ms Lange Q&A pg. 206
A compensating filter is used to do what? Even out widely differing tissue densities Lange Q&A pg. 207
Boxes of film stored in too warm an area may be subject to what type of film damage? Film fog Lange Q&A pg. 207
Which interaction is responsible for producing the most x-ray photons at the x-ray tube target? Bremsstrahlung Lange Q&A pg. 207
When is x-ray film emulsion is most sensitive to safelight fog? After the exposure is made Lange Q&A pg. 208
If a 6 inch OID is introduced during an exam, what change is SID will be necessary to overcome objectionable magnification? The SID must be increased by 42 inches Lange Q&A pg. 208
If a particular grid has lead strips .40 mm thick, 4.0 mm high, and .25 mm apart, what is its grid ratio? 16:1 Lange Q&A pg. 208
The line-focus principle expresses the relationship between what? The actual and the effective focal spot Lange Q&A pg. 208
What type of pathology does a flattened hemidiaphragms and widened intercostal spaces represent? Emphysema Lange Q&A pg. 209
IRs frequently have a rear lead foil layer that functions to what? Absorb backscatter Lange Q&A pg. 209
The continued emission of light by a phosphor after the activating source has ceased is termed? Phosphorescence Lange Q&A pg. 209
How often are radiographic equipment collimators required to be evaluated? Semiannuallly Lange Q&A pg. 209
During CR imaging, the latent image present on the PSP is changed to a computerized image by the? ADC Lange Q&A pg. 209
Exposed silver halide crystals are changed to black metallic silver by what? Reducers Lange Q&A pg. 209
The exposure factors of 400 mA, 70 ms, and 78 kV were used to produce a particular image receptor exposure. A similar image could be produced using 500 mA, 90 kV, and what exposure time? In milliseconds 28 ms Lange Q&A pg. 210
If 40 mAs and a 200 speed screen-film system were used for a particular exposure, what new mAs value would be required to produce the same density if the screen-film system were changed to 800 speed? 10 mAs Lange Q&A pg. 211
An exposure was made using 8 mAs and 60 kV. If the kV was changed to 70, what new mAs value is required to maintain receptor exposure? 4 Lange Q&A pg. 211
Exposure factors of 90 kV and 3 mAs are used for a particular nongrid exposure. What should be the new mAs value if a 12:1 grid is added? 15 Lange Q&A pg. 212

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.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
