Exposure rate will decrease with an increase in SID (Lange Q&A p.178 )
As digital image matrix size increases what happens? Pixel size decreases (Lange Q&A p.178 )
What can distortion be caused by? Tube angle, the position of the organ or structure within the body, and the radiographic positioning of the part (Lange Q&A p.178 )
Decreasing field size from 14x17 inches to 8x10 inches, with no changes will? Decrease the amount of scattered radiation generated within the part (Lange Q&A p.178 )
Reduction in x-ray photon intensity as it passes through numerous tissue densities is termed Attenuation (Lange Q&A p.179 )
