Question
Answer
DESCRIBE ONE PRIME FACTORS OF EXPOSURE - mA   CONTROLS THE # OF ELECTRONS PRODUCED AT THE FILAMENT AND THE QUANITY OF XRAY PHOTONS PRODUCED AT THE NODE  
🗑
DESCRIBE ONE PRIME FACTOR OF EXPOSURE - Exposure Time   CONTROLS HOW LONG THE ELECTRONS CROSS FROM CATHODE TO ANODE. AND HOW LONG THE EXPOSURE WILL LAST  
🗑
DESCRIBE ONE PRIME FACTOR OF EXPOSURE - kVp   CONTROLS THE SPEED (kinetic energy) OF THE ELECTRONS CROSSING FROM CATHODE TO ANOTE AND THE QUALITY (PENETRATING ABILITY) OF THE XRAY PHOTONS PRODUCED  
🗑
DESCRIBE ONE PRIME FACTOR OF EXPOSURE - SID   THE DISTANCE BETWEEN THE XRAY TUBE TARGET AND THE IR  
🗑
DEFINE DENSITY:   REFERS TO HOW DARK OR BLACK AND IMAGE APPEARS  
🗑
DEFINE CONTRAST:   REFERS TO THE DIFFERENCE IN DENSITY BETWEEN ADJACENT AREAS ON AND IMAGE  
🗑
DEFINE DISTORTION   REFERS TO MISREPRESENTATION IN SIZE AND/OR SHAPE OF AN OBJECT ON AN IMAGE  
🗑
DEFINE DETAIL:   REFERS TO THE VISUAL CLARITY OR SHARPENESS OF AN IMAGE  
🗑
LIST THE PRIMARY CONTROLLER OF DENSITY AND WHAT HAPPENS TO DENSITY IF IT IS CHANGED.   A) mAs B) mAs increase = Density Decreased C) mAs decreased = Density Increased  
🗑
LIST THE PRIMARY CONTROLLER OF CONTRAST AND WHAT HAPPENS TO CONTRAST IF IT IS CHANGED.   A)kVp B) AS kVp Increase - Contrast Decreases C) As kVp Decreases - Contrast Increases  
🗑
DIFFERENTIATE BETWEEN SHORT-SCALE AND LONG-SCALE CONTRAST   A) LONG-SCALE = LOW CONTRAST B) SHORT-SCALE = HIGH CONTRAST  
🗑
DESCRIBE WHAT HAPPENS TO SIZE DISTORTION WHEN SIDE & OID ARE CHANGED   SID INCREASED = SIZE DISTORTION DECREASES SID DECREASED = SIZE DISTORTION INCREASES OID INCREASED = SIZE DISTORTION INCRESES OID DECREASED = SIZE DISTORTION DECREASES  
🗑
DESCRIBE WHAT HAPPENS TO SHAPE DISTORTION WHEN BEAM ANGLE, CR/IR/BODY PART ALIGNMENT IS CHANGED   A BEAM ANGULATION INCREASES - SHAPE DISTORTION INCREASES - WHEN ANGULATION DECREASES SHAPE DISTORTION DECREASES  
🗑
DESCRIBE THE EFFECTS OF SIZE AND SHAPE DISTORTION ON RECORDED DETAIL   AN IMAGE VARIES IN ITS SHARPNESS  
🗑
DESCRIBE HOW VOLUNTARY AND INVOLUNTARY MOTION CAN BE AVOIDED   VOLUNTARY - GOOD PT INSTRUCTION AND COMMUNICATION INVOLUNTARY - PROPER POSITIONING - IMMOBILIZATION - SHORT EXPOSURE TIME  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
