Question
Answer
show the number of electrons boiled off of the filament  
🗑
what imaging system has a linear exposure relationship?   show
🗑
show overexposed  
🗑
___ represents the different absorbtion characteristics of the body   show
🗑
with film/screen systems image density is represented by twhat?   show
🗑
What happens to density as processing developer temp. increases?   show
🗑
show it decreases  
🗑
the intensity of a beam is less on which end of the tube?   show
🗑
show it increases  
🗑
As kVp increases and everything else remains constant what happens to density   show
🗑
what is the absorbing material in a grid?   show
🗑
show increase by a factor of 4  
🗑
total filtration in the x-ray tube head assembly affects density by___   show
🗑
show it will decrease  
🗑
which set will produce the highest contrast? 50@20, 58@10, 67@5, 77@2.5   show
🗑
the lower the kVp the _____ resultant of contrast   show
🗑
what tissue group will likely have the greatest xray absorption?   show
🗑
show 0.5 because the lowest difference between densities will present low contrast  
🗑
show sensitivity speck  
🗑
what layer in general film is not duplicated?   show
🗑
which layer is manufactures to reduce eye strain?   show
🗑
a grid will _____ scatter production... how/why?   show
🗑
show decrease  
🗑
a compensating filter will ________ contrast   show
🗑
show decreases  
🗑
collimation ____ contrast   show
🗑
show the scale of contrast  
🗑
show greater the  
🗑
the lower the kVp the ____ the contrast   show
🗑
show all of them  
🗑
show mAs  
🗑
show mAs  
🗑
show kVp  
🗑
show 65 mAs  
🗑
show 6 new mAs=24*(1/4)  
🗑
if the collimation field is made smaller what will happen to the density if the mAs is not adjusted?   show
🗑
purpose of a grid?   show
🗑
show 80  
🗑
show mAs  
🗑
show increase mAs because the photons that would have exposed the patient or the image receptor are removed.  
🗑
to obtain a higher scale of contrast you must _____ kVp and ____mAs   show
🗑
show a factor of 2  
🗑
____ controls the overall blackness of a radiograph?   show
🗑
show longer;shorter  
🗑
films with thicker emulsions or larger silver halide crystals will have ______ sharpness   show
🗑
in digital, changing a negative image to a positive image is called what?   show
🗑
adjusting the brightness and contrast is called what?   show
🗑
show latent image  
🗑
which kVp is capeable of producing the lowest contrast? 50,60,70,80   show
🗑
which kVp setting will provide the most kenetic energy to filament electrons?   show
🗑
show 20 less energy more chance of the photons being absorbed in the body less hitting the IR  
🗑
show fat  
🗑
which tissue group has the highest water content?   show
🗑
what is the primary absorber of xrays in bone?   show
🗑
in which layer of the intensifying screen is xray energy converted into light?   show
🗑
show emu;sion  
🗑
once the halide crystals are exposed the sensitivity speck will first aquire what charge?   show
🗑
why is scatter exposure undesirable?   show
🗑
compensating filters in effect _____ tissue thickness and density   show
🗑
which OID would result in the greatest increase in radiographic contrast? 1,4,6,12   show
🗑
show increase  
🗑
show step up transformer  
🗑

🗑
if lead strips are 2.0mm high and are separated by an interspace of.25mm what is the grid ratio?   show
🗑
s radiograph is produced using 85@8 without a grid. a second film is requested using an 8:1 grid with a conversion factor of 4 what mAs is needed?   show
🗑
1st radiograph is 85@10 without a grid what would be the mAs if using a 16:1 grid?(conversion factor of 6)   show
🗑
show 30* 5/6= 180/5 = 36 mAs  
🗑
show 1,3,4,5,6  
🗑
when the patient thickness is more that 10cm the kVp should be   show
🗑
transmission is responsible for what?   show
🗑
absorption is responsible for   show
🗑
show thinner;higher  
🗑
contrast is _____ when a grid is used   show
🗑
what will go down, what must be increased, when a grid is placed in beam?   show
🗑
show all lead sstrips are parallel to eachother, they absorb a large amount of the primary beam resulting in some cut-off  
🗑
with a decrease in SID grid cut-off will   show
🗑
show horizontal lead strips, vertical lead strips, primary beam must be centered perp. to grid, grid must remain flat  
🗑
focused grid   show
🗑
focused linear grids   show
🗑
show convergence line, narrow positioning latitude, improper centering results in periphereal cut-off, only useful at present SID distance
