What is the minimum response time of automatic exposure control (AEC)? | is its shortest possible exposure time p280 |
What causes pitting, or many small surface melts, of the anode's focal track? | Repeated, frequent overloading p280 |
A parallel-plate ionization chamber receives a particular charge as x-ray photons travel through it. This is the operating principle of which of the following devices? | AEC p281 |
Congruence of the x-ray beam with the light field is testing using what? | radiopaque objects p281 |
As window level increases what happens? | brightness increases p282 |
The voltage ripple associated with a three-phase, six-pulse rectified generator is about what percent? | 13% p283 |
The device that receives the remnant beam, converts it into light, and then increases the brightness of that light is what? | image intensifier p283 |
