QuestionAnswer
In a variable kV system, the ____ is varied to achieve an appropriate image density. mAs
T/F: In a variable kV system, the mAs is varied to achieve an appropriate image contrast False
In a variable kV system, the Kv is varied according to the measure of the body part _____. thickness
T/F: An advantage of a variable kV system is the small incremental changes in exposure for variations in the body part thickness are possible true
T/F: Increasing kVp reduces radiographic contrast. true
Steps for a variable kV system should be in groups of ___ amount of centimeters in increments. 5
The effective use of a variable kVp technique chart requires the use of ____. calibers
The optimal kV is the max kV level that will produce images with the appropriate _____. contrast
T/F: Reducing mA decreases x-ray tube heating. true
T/F: Reduced mA prolongs filament life. true
T/F: Reduced time minimizes patient motion. True
T/F: The optimal kVp produces higher contrast and maximum dose false (low contrast/pt dose)

In a fixed kVp system _____ is held constant. kVp
What are the advantages of a fixed kVp system? uniform contrast, longer scale, reduced patient dose, reduce tube wear-out
kVp has a profound effect on what? type of interaction, average photon energy, and contrast
The objective of optimal kVp is to determine the ____ and ____. highest kVp; lowest scale contrast
the primary variable on a fixed kV system is ____. mAs

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
