Principles of Exposure & Image Quality

        Help!  

Question
Answer
what is the unit to indicate the total quantity of x-rays in an exposure?   mAs milliamperes-seconds  
🗑
Which of the following will result in increased radiographic density? 1. increased mA 2. Increased exposure time 3. Decreased source-image receptor distance Choose A. 1 & 2 B. 1 &3 C. 2 & 3 D. 1,2,3,   A 1 & 2  
🗑
The mass density of the body part is referred to as _____________?   tissue density  
🗑
The primary controller of radiographic density is __________.   mAs  
🗑
The difference in radiographic density btwn any 2 adjacent portions of the image is called ____________   Contrast  
🗑
The primary factor controlling radiographic constrast & penetration is ______________ A. mA B. exposure time C. mAs D. kVp   D. kVp  
🗑
high contrast produced by low kVp results in an image with __________________________   a short scale of contrast  
🗑
Generalized unwanted exposure on the image is called _________________   fog  
🗑
A decrease in SID will result in _______________   a increase of SID source image receptor distance  
🗑
a mispresentation in the size and shape of the strucuture being examined is called __________   Distortion  
🗑
the fuzzy unsharpness at the edges of structures or body parts is called _______________   fog  
🗑
what is OID   object-image receptor distance  
🗑
what is penumbra   unsharp edges  
🗑
What is the inverse law?   intensity is inversely proportional to the square of the distance  
🗑
what does SID stand for ?   source image receptor distance  
🗑
what is "size distortion"?   magnification of a part  
🗑
what is elongation ?   object appears longer  
🗑
What is "shape distortion"?   result of unequal magnification  
🗑
what is "foreshortening"?   object appears shorter  
🗑
What is density?   overall blackness on the image  
🗑
long scale contrast?   Produced by high kVp  
🗑
what is contrast?   difference in density btwm adjacent structures  
🗑
What is short scale contrast?   produced by low kVp  
🗑
what is quantum mottle?   grainy or mottled image  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
