Question
Answer
Misrepresentation of the true size and shape of an object is the definition of?   Distortion  
🗑
What is the most important factor in controlling distortion?   OID  
🗑
What keeps distortion to a minimum?   Increased SID  
🗑
What are the 2 types of distortion that can reduce the quality of a radiograph?   Size and shape  
🗑
What occurs when the SID is increased?   Image is reduced  
🗑
What size focal spot is used when doing macroradiography?   .3mm  
🗑
When an object is placed halfway between the tube and the film, the image will be how many times larger?   2 times  
🗑
What percentage increase is usually used for magnification radiography?   100%  
🗑
The ratio of SID to SOD represents which of the following?   Magnification ratio  
🗑
Tube angulation will produce which type of distortion?   Elongation  
🗑
Magnification distortion can be used to an advantage for which of the following radiographic procedures?   Cerebral angiography  
🗑
Changing the shape of an object is called?   Distortion  
🗑
An x-ray tube that is designed for magnification radiography is referred to as what?   A fractional focus tube  
🗑
What factor can affect shape distortion?   X-ray tube angulation  
🗑
What advantage is there to magnifying an object?   Small objects become visible  
🗑
A misrepresentation of the shape of an object may be caused by?   An angled object, an angled x-ray tube, or an angled cassette  
🗑
What would not be used to minimize radiographic distortion?   Shortest possible exposure time  
🗑
To avoid shape distortion, what must be paid close attention to?   Part angulation  
🗑
How does magnification affect radiographic quality?   Decreases detail  
🗑
Which of the following will produce the largest image?   40" SID, 3" OID  
🗑
If the SID is increased the same as the OID, what will the resultant radiograph show?   An increase in size distortion  
🗑
Size distortion is affected by?   Geometric factors  
🗑
What can be done to help compensate for an angled part?   Align tube, part and film  
🗑
What is the magnification factor if an object measures 4 cm, but the radiographic image is 8 cm?   2x  
🗑
What will occur when the OID is decreased?   The image is closer to actual size  
🗑
Which of the following will produce the smallest image?   72" SID, 2" OID  
🗑
If the SID increases, how is distortion affected?   Distortion goes down  
🗑
If the air-gap technique is used, how is distortion affected?   Distortion goes up  
🗑
If the SOD increases, how is distortion affected?   Distortion goes down  
🗑
If the phospor size increases, how is distortion affected?   It has no effect  
🗑
If the grid ratio increases, how is distortion affected?   It has no effect  
🗑
If the tube angle increases, how is distortion affected?   Distortion increases  
🗑
