Question
Answer
recorded detail is?   show
🗑
show inversely, as magnification decreases recorded detail will increase. p.299  
🗑
show as SID increases the magnification from divergent ray will decrease and recorded detail will increase, they are directly related p.299  
🗑
show elongated or foreshortened p.302  
🗑
show the smaller the focal spot size the better the recorded detail p.303  
🗑
actual focal spot verses effective focal spot?   show
🗑
how does the angle of the anode effect the x ray?   show
🗑
show motion p304  
🗑
show fluorescent phosphor that functions to change x ray photons into light, more than 98% of the exposure is from the fluorescent light.p.309  
🗑
recorded detail increases as:   show
🗑
show when any mA and time (second) produces a given mAs p.318  
🗑
show device place between the patient and the image receptor that absorbs a large percentage of scatter radiation before it reaches the IR, it works by having lead strips in the same direction of the x ray photons, so those that opposing will be absorbed  
🗑
Grid ratios?   show
🗑
what is the total filtration of x ray tubes that operate above 70 kvp?   show
🗑
show INCREASE: ascites, RA, paget disease, pneumonia,atelecxtasis, CHF,edematous tissue DECREASE: osteoporosis, osteomalacia, pneumopeitoneum,emphysema,, degenerative arthritis,atrophic and necrotic conditions  
🗑
show single phase-100% three phase 6 pulse-13% three phase 12 pulse-4% high voltage-  
🗑
show High contrast: short-scale contrast, displays few number of grays and tissue difference, product of low kv LOW CONTRAST: long scale, displays many similar tissue differences, product of a high kv  
🗑
subject contrast?   show
🗑
show extremities-55 GRID- skull-75 abdomen-75 lateral lumbar-90 barium studies-120 chest -120  
🗑
show SNR is used to describe contrast resolution, the higher the SNR the better the resolution, SNR increases as mAs increase however so does patient dose p.364  
🗑
show as matrix size increases, pixel size smaller,and better spatial resolution  
🗑
show developer, fixer, wash, and dryer  
🗑
show developer- reduces exposed silver bromide to black metallic silver fixer- clears the film of unexposed silver bromide and rehardens the emulsion, wash- removes processing chemicals dryer- rfemoves water from film and dries emulsion  
🗑
what is DQE   show
🗑
show phototimer and ionization chamber  
🗑
where are the AEC at?   show
🗑
show higher contrast (short scale) because more scatter is absorbed  
🗑
structures that high higher subject contrast have what type of gray scale?   show
🗑
show energy of the x-ray photons and therefore the degree of penetration of various tissues thereby determining the contrast characteristics of the image.  
🗑
show field size, beam restriction, kvp, thickness or volume and density of tissue  
🗑
