| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| 1. kVp | Controls x-ray beam energy |
| 2. mAs | Controls x-ray intensity & patient radiation dose |
| 3. Exposure time | shorter exposure times reduces motion blur |
| 4.Inverse square law | allows technologist to calculate the necessary change in mAs after a change in SID to maintain constant IR response. |
| 5.body habitus | Sthenic, Hyposthenic, Hypersthenic, Asthenic |
| 6.Thickness | thicker body parts require more x-radiation to penetrate through the patient to expose IR |
| 7.calipers | use to measure thickness of body part being imaged. |
| 8.Distortion | misrepresentation of object size and shape on the image |
| 9.Elongation | anatomy being imaged appears bigger than normal |
| 10.photopic | bright-light vision with cones |
| 11.scotopic | dim-light vision with rods |
| 12.lumen | basic unit of photometry |
| 13.Luminous flux | total intensity of light from a source |
| 14.Illuminance | intensity of light incident on a surface |
| 15.Luminance intensity | luminous flux that is emitted into the entire viewing area |
