Question
Answer
For every 1" of OID, how much compensation in SID is required?   show
🗑
show Density = log x incident light intensity/transmitted light intensity  
🗑
show No grid = 1x the original mAs, 5:1 grid = 2x original mAs, 6:1 grid = 3x original mAs, 8:1 grid = 4x original mAs, 10:1 or 12:1 grid = 5x original mAs, 16:1 grid = 6x original mAs  
🗑
show mAs original/mAs new = GCF original/GCF new  
🗑
In digital imaging, how is pixel size determined?   show
🗑
show Image size/Object size = SID/SOD  
🗑
What is SOD the difference of?   show
🗑
show MF = Image Size/Object Size  
🗑
show HU = mA x Sec x kV. 3 phase 6 pulse 1.35 (35%) & 3 phase 12 pulse 1.41 (41%).  
🗑
What is the transformer law? What formula is used to determine the voltage & current?   show
🗑
show GR = H/D (GR = Grid Ratio, H = Height of Pb stip, D = Distance of the interspace material between the Pb strips).  
🗑
show The # of Pb (lead) strips per inch.  
🗑
show 2/3 X for 3 phase 6 pulse & 1/2 X for 3 phase 12 pulse (X = single phase mass).  
🗑
what are the screen speed conversion factors for the following screen speeds mAs conversion factors, 50, 100, 200, 400, 800?   show
🗑
show For each 1cm increase of tissue thickness an increase of 2 kVp to compensate.  
🗑
show A 15% increase of kV is equivalent to increasing mAs by 50%. A 15% decrease in kVp is equivalent to a 50% decrease in mAs. If repeating & wanting the same density, increase my kVp 15% & decrease my mAs by 50%.  
🗑
What is the formula used to determine the amount of image magnification?   show
🗑
show SID = OID + SOD. SOD = SID - OID. OID = SID - SOD.  
🗑
What is the formula to calculate Equivalent Dose?   show
🗑
What is the Cumulative Effective Dose? What is the radiation unit? How would it be determined?   show
🗑
What are the annual occupation limits for Effective Dose? How many mSv are in each rem? What are the limits in mSv? What is the occupational yearly dose limit for students under 18 years of age?   show
🗑
show 5 mSv (.5 rem) for the gestational period & not to exceed .5 mSv per month (.005 rem, or 5 mrem).  
🗑
Can excessive radiographic density be attributed to over-development? Why?   show
🗑
show Decreased density. If single emulsion film is in dual screen cassette, the film will only receive half the exposure.  
🗑
show An decrease in kV also decreases exposure latitude. There is less margin for error in lower kV ranges.  
🗑
show Dx x-ray & gamma rays 1, protons 5, fast neutrons 10, alpha particles 20.  
🗑
What is the inverse square law?   show
🗑
What is the density maintenance formula?   show
🗑
What is the formula to calculate Effective Dose?   show
🗑

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.
