Question
Answer
show Criss-Cross Grid  
🗑
Two linear grids placed on top of one another so that the lead strips form a criss-cross pattern   show
🗑
A grid created with the central grid strips parallel with the strips and becoming more inclined as they move away from the central axis; the lines would intersect along a point in space called the line of convergence   show
🗑
A device used to improve contrast of the radiographic image   show
🗑
The result of the primary beam being angled into the lead strips   show
🗑
The number of grid lines per inch or centimeter   show
🗑
The ratio of the height of the lead strips to the distance between the strips   show
🗑
show Linear Grid  
🗑
show Parellel Grid  
🗑
Why does a grid improve contrast?   show
🗑
As a general rule, when should a grid be used?   show
🗑
How is a grid constructed?   show
🗑
Define Grid Ratio:   show
🗑
What type of grid pattern has lead strips running in only one direction?   show
🗑
show The central grid strips are parallel and as the strips move away from the central axis they become more and more inclinded  
🗑
show The more efficient a grid is at absorbing scatter, the less image receptor exposure. To compensate for the loss of exposure there is an increase in mAs, which increases patient dose.  
🗑
How is the contrast improvement of a grid measured?   show
🗑
show When the tube is angled across the long axis of the grid strips  
🗑
How does the air-gap technique improve contrast?   show
🗑
