Question
Answer
show density - decreases density because it eliminates quantity(mA) of beam used contrast - lower contrast as leaves with higher kVp  
🗑
An increase in SID(from 40" -> 72") will have what affecton Density and Contrast?   show
🗑
What affect does increasing the grid ratio have on Contrast and density?   show
🗑
What affect does increasing the OID have on Density and Contrast?   show
🗑
If you Increase kVp what will happen to Contrast?...Density?   show
🗑
show increase contrast and decrease density  
🗑
mAs controls what?   show
🗑
If you increase mAs what happens to Contrast?...Density?   show
🗑
A 15% increase in kVp does what to density?   show
🗑
show increase the detail which in turn will decrease distortion  
🗑
show decrease the detail and has no affect on distortion.  
🗑
show decrease the detail cause it'll look blurry and increase the distortion  
🗑
show decrease detail and increase distortion ( the closer you have the object to the IR the better detail)  
🗑
Define Radiographic Quality   show
🗑
Define Spatial Resolution   show
🗑
Define Contrast resolution   show
🗑
show Radiographic noise is the random fluctuation in the optical density of the image  
🗑
Define Quantum Mottle   show
🗑
Define the Characteristic Curve   show
🗑
show when an image on the radiograph is larger then the object they represent.  
🗑
show Use the largest SID and the smallest OID  
🗑
show unequal magnification of different portions of the same object.  
🗑
Distortion depend on......?   show
🗑
Define Focal spot blur   show
🗑
show Greater on the cathode side  
🗑
How can you minimize focal spot blur?   show
🗑
Define Heel effect   show
🗑
Factors effecting subject contrast   show
🗑
show movement of the patient or the x ray tube during exposure results in blurring of the image  
🗑
show the study of the relationship between the intensity of exposure of the film and the blackness after processing is called this  
🗑
Sharpness of image detail is best measured by.....?   show
🗑
The visibility of image detail is best demonstrated by.....?   show
🗑
Define foreshortening   show
🗑
Define elongation   show
🗑
show describes the ability to see the detail on the radiograph and is best measured by contrast resolution  
🗑
How does Latitude affect the Characteristic Curve?   show
🗑
Procedures for reducing motion blur?   show
🗑
show Its a device that allows AEC. It senses the amount of radiation incident on the IR, through electric feedback circuit, radiation exposure is terminated when sufficient # of x-rays has reached IR to produce an acceptable optical density  
🗑
show 0.1 to 0.03  
🗑
show the region in which a properly exposed radiograph appears. Its the diagnostic range.  
🗑
show use high mAs and low kVp setting, slower IR  
🗑
show kVp, ma x s or mAs, and SID  
🗑
show the cells cannot tell the difference between the primary beam and the scattered radiation, so if a high proportion of scatter radiation reachs cells, exposure is terminated prematurly  
🗑
How can you reduce magnification?   show
🗑
The useful reange of OD is approx?   show
🗑
Fast IR's have_____ noise and what does it do to spatial resolution and contrast resolution?   show
🗑
High spatial resolution and contrast resolution require____noise and __________ IR's   show
🗑
show Focal spot does NOT affect contrast or density, it affect recorded detail and focal spot blur.  
🗑
show positioning the anatomiacal part of interest in a plane parallel to that of the IR  
🗑
Increased Pt thickness does what to contrast and density?   show
🗑
Increase grid ratio...what happens to contrast and density?   show
🗑
Increased compression has what affect on contrast, density, detail and distortion?   show
🗑
