🗑
Patient dose increases are directly related to increases in ______   mAs and distance  
🗑
The small focal spot is used to provide ______ detail when less quantity if xrays is needed.   greater  
🗑
Two effects of added filtration ____ beam quality and ___ patient exposure   increase; reduce  
🗑
Lung is the most ____ tissue in the body, fat is more radiolucent than muscle and bone is the most radiopaque   radiolucent  
🗑
Emphysema makes the lungs ____ radiolucent   more  
🗑
When only optical density needs to be changed only the ___ should be changed   mAs  
🗑
Sharpness of detail can be improved by increasing the ___ and ___   SID; decreasing OID  
🗑
____ is caused by an angled body part when the beam is perpendicular to the image.   foreshortening  
🗑
A _____ chart has a set kVp and specific mAs settings either for small, medium, and large or for every 2cm of thickness.   variable mAs technique; fixed kVp technique  
🗑
With ____ the exposure is terminated when the optimum optical density is reached   automatic exposure control  
🗑

🗑
The bit represents zero or ____   one  
🗑
In computer language, 2 bytes is a _____   word  
🗑
Microprocessors process _____, they do not store data.   data  
🗑
Teleradiology is the practice of transferring patient images, and ___ to remote sites   reports  
🗑
Digital radiography was first introduced by Fuji in ____   1981  
🗑
CR IPs and FS cassettes can be used _____ with any xray imaging system   interchangeably  
🗑
CR screens respond to radiation with   photostimulable luminescence  
🗑
A photostimulable phosphor in a metastable state will emit light ___ when stimulated by xrays, when ___ by light and over time.   immediately; stimulated  
🗑
Europium is the ___ of the photostimulable phosphor   activator  
🗑
The CR cassette is called an ______   imaging plate  
🗑

🗑
The CR reader is made up of ______, _____, and ______ modules.   mechanical, optical, computer  
🗑
The four steps of creating an image with computer radiography are ____, ____, ____, ____.   exposure, stimulate IP, read IP, erase  
🗑
Following the laser stimulation of PSP, the electrons are mostly ____.   relaxed  
🗑
Optical filters are used to filter out the ____ light and allow emitted light to reach the photodetector   stimulating  
🗑

🗑
With computed radiography the contrast is constant ___   regardless of radiation exposure  
🗑
The computed radiography image has ____ exposure latitude and improved ____ resolution   greater/wider; contrast
