Question
Answer
1. Define Radiographic Contrast.   The difference between adjacent densities within the radiographic image  
🗑
2. What is the primary controlling factor for contrast   kVp  
🗑
3. What are the two types of contrast seen in medical radiography   Long scale (low contrast) and short scale (high contrast  
🗑
4. Describe long scale contrast   Many shade of gray; also referred to as low contrast  
🗑
5. Describe short-scale contrast.   Few shades of gray; mainly black and white image (also called high contrast)  
🗑
6. Which of the two types of contrast exhibit a wide exposure latitude   Long scale contrast  
🗑
7. Which of the two types of contrast is a product of low kVp   Short scale contrast (high contrast)  
🗑
8. What factors compose radiographic contrast   Image receptor (film) contrast and subject contrast  
🗑
9. What influences image receptor (film) contrast    
🗑
10. Characteristics of the film and processing what determines subject contrast   Size, shape, and attenuating characteristics of the material being irradiated  
🗑
11. Which of the two contrast factors should be standardized   Image receptor (film) contrast  
🗑
12. What effect do grids have on contrast    
🗑
   
🗑
13. How does increasing filtration affect contrast   Contrast is decreased slightly because filtration increases the average photon energy of the beam  
🗑
14. How does tighter collimation affect contrast   Tighter collimation reduces the number of photons available, thus reducing the amount of scatter and increasing contrast (shortens the scale of contrast)  
🗑
15. How does mAs affect contrast   mAs alters density of image and therefore affects contrast  
🗑


   

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.
