Question
Answer
One way to alter image contrast and/or density digitally is through   show
🗑
show some change made to window width and/or window level  
🗑
show the number of gray shades, that is, image contrast  
🗑
Change in window level affects change in   show
🗑
Windowing and other postprocessing mechanisms permit the radiographer to affect changes in the image and to produce "special effects" such as   show
🗑
Using fixed-mAs and variable-kVp technical factors, each centimeter increase in patient thickness requires what adjustment in kilovoltage?   show
🗑
A film artifact usually will appear as a plus-density (dark) artifact if it is produced before or after exposure?   show
🗑
show after  
🗑
show fast  
🗑
What does quantum mottle look like?   show
🗑
show low mAs  
🗑
show high kVp  
🗑
show 1. identify automatic processing problems. 2. determine film sensitivity.  
🗑
The sensitometric, or characteristic, curve is used to illustrate the relationship between exposure and   show
🗑
How does a sensitometric curve predict a film emulsion's response(speed, sensitivity)?   show
🗑
show automatic processing efficiency and consistency  
🗑
show processing difficulties  
🗑
The sensitrometric curve illustrates the effects of exposure and processing on   show
🗑
show magnification  
🗑
Shape distortion is a result of improper alignment of   show
🗑
show foreshortening and elongation  
🗑
show their position in the body, when the part is out of the central axis of the x-ray beam, or when the central ray is angled  
🗑
show Off-focus  
🗑
If FOV increases, pixel size   show
🗑
show at the cathode end of the image  
🗑
show 1  
🗑
Which of the following can affect histogram appearance?   show
🗑
show foreshortening of the object  
🗑
show elongation of the object  
🗑
show as the target angle decreases, the effective focal spot decreases (providing improved recorded detail), but the actual area of electron interaction remains much larger (allowing for greater heat capacity)  
🗑
Does a steep (small) target angle increases or decrease the heel affect?   show
🗑
show how much of the patient (eg, 150-mm diameter) is included in the matrix  
🗑
The factors that affect the recorded detail of traditional screen/film imaging are   show
🗑
show change the exposed silver bromide crystals to black metallic silver, thus producing a manifest image  
🗑
show removes the unexposed silver bromide crystals from the emulsion and hardens the gelatin emulsion, thus ensuring permanence of the radiograph  
🗑
show Increasing the heat of the filament  
🗑
A screen lag test is performed by radiographing a phantom using an empty cassette-image receptor, then loading it with film and leaving for it a few minutes.   show
🗑
Which of the following pathologic conditions require(s) a decrease in exposure factors?   show
🗑
show 1. differential tissue absorption. 2. emulsion characteristics.  
🗑
show the production of energy in the form of light  
🗑
show low contrast  
🗑
show slow speed, low contrast, and more latitude.

Grid frequency refers to   show
🗑
Factors that contribute to an increase in the intensification factor generally function to increase or decrease resolution?   show
🗑
show increase  
🗑
show 1. Grid ratio 2. Number of lead strips per inch 3. Amount of scatter transmitted through the grid  
🗑
show the thinner and less visible they will be on the finished radiograph  
🗑
The function of a grid is to   show
🗑
show the amount of primary radiation transmitted through the grid divided by the amount of scattered radiation transmitted through the grid  
🗑
