Long scale of contrast shows displays what?   many similar image/ tissue densities that uses a higher kVp and larger field sizes (Lange Radiography Prep Book, pg. 338)  
🗑
Short scale of contrast displays what?   few, very different image/tissue densities that uses lower kVp and more "tigher" collimation (Lange Radiography Prep Book, pg. 338)

kVp controls what?   contrast (Lange Radiography Prep Book, pg. 340)  
🗑
What are the two types of AEC and where are they located?   ionization chamber: beneth the table top, above the IR phototimer: fluorescent screen underneath the IR (Lange Radiography Prep Book, pg. 351)  
🗑
The result of poor patient positioning using AEC will produce what type of image?   underexposed (Lange Radiography Prep Book, pg. 351)  
🗑
If you increase the focal spot size, what does it do to your blur and detail?   blur increases and detail decreases (Lange Radiography Prep Book, pg. 367)  
🗑
