RAD 121 - Formulas

QuestionAnswer
mAs, mA, or Time when 2 of 3 are known. mAs = mA x Time; mAs/Time = mA mAs/mA = Time
Finding percentage difference in mAs or kVp. High value - lower value; Answer divided by original value; multiply by 100
Application of 15% kVp rule: a) Double receptor exposure. AOFC b) Halve receptor exposure. AOFC c) Increase contrast and maintain receptor exposure. d) Decrease contrast and maintain receptor exposure. a) Double receptor exp AOFC orig kVp x 1.15 = new b) Halve receptor exp AOFC orig kVp x .85 = new c) Increase contrast, maintain receptor exp orig kVp x .85 and double mAs d) Decrease contrast, maintain receptor exp orig kVp x 1.15 and half mAs
Maintain receptor exposure with mAs for changes in SID. (mAs distance compensation formula) mAs 1 / mAs 2 = SID 1 squared / SID 2 squared
Maintaining receptor exposure with change in Grid Ratio. mAs 1 / mAs 2 = GR 1 / GR 2
Formula to calculate geometric unsharpness. P = FSS - OID / SOD
Magnification factor based on distances: MF = SID / SOD
Magnification factor based on object and image: MF = IW / OW (which also equals SID / SOD)
Percent of magnification based on distance: %M = SID - SOD / SOD x 100
Percent of magnification based on object and image: %M = IW - OW / OW x 100
Exposure rate with changes in distance from source: Inverse Square Law I 1 / I 2 = SID 2 squared / SID 1 squared
Grid Ratio formula GR = Height of lead strips/ Distance between lead strips
Double receptor exposure with mAs OLD mAs x 2 = NEW mAs
Double receptor exposure with kVp OLD kVp x 1.15 = NEW kVp

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.
