🗑
If insufficient backup time has been selected for AEC, the image would be _________.   show
🗑
show It is less magnified. (Lange Q&A pg. 242)  
🗑
Name 2 ways to decrease motion, which improves recorded detail.   show
🗑
show Vertical, or upright, to avoid pressure marks. (Lange Q&A pg. 236)  
🗑
show A graphic representation of pixel value distribution. (Lange Q&A pg. 247)  
🗑
show Spatial resolution. (Radiography Prep Book pg. 299)  
🗑
What does PACS stand for?   show
🗑
If a chest x-ray is taken with an mA of 100 and the radiologist wanted it repeated with an mA of 200, what would happen to the density of the image?   show
🗑
show There would be no change. (Radiographic Exposure Principles & Practice pg. 182)  
🗑
An image was taken with a focal spot size of .3-mm and for the next image it was taken with a focal spot size of .5-mm. What effect does this have on recorded detail?   show
🗑
A foot x-ray was taken on an 8x10 collimation field size and on the next image was taken on a n 11x14 collimation field size. What effect does this have on contrast?   show
🗑
What effect does OID have on contrast if it is decreased?   show
🗑
What effect does developer temperature have on density if the temperature is decreased?   show
🗑
What effect does grid ratio have on recorded detail is the grid ratio is increased?   show
🗑
What effect does filtration have on distortion if filtration is decreased?   show
🗑
What 5 factors, if increased, would have an effect on density?   show
🗑
What two factor have an effect on distortion?   show
🗑
show The mAs is fixed and the kV is increased as part thickness increases. (Radiography Prep book pg. 351)  
🗑
show Perstaltic activity, muscle spasms, and heart action. (Radiography Prep book pg. 309)  
🗑
What is the best way to minimize involuntary motion?   show
🗑
show Because they react to x-ray photons more efficiently and possess greater speed. (Radiography Prep Book pg. 312)  
🗑
The more fluorescent light each phosphor emits, the _________ its Conversion Efficiency (CE) and speed.   show
🗑
What is the inverse square equation?   show
🗑
What is the density maintenance formula?   show
🗑
What is an example of a stationary grid?   show
🗑
What does filtration do?   show
🗑
show It is used for anatomic parts having very different thickness/absorption properties. It is also used to "balance" tissue densities and improves visualization of all tissues. (Radiography Prep Book pg. 330)  
🗑
When is the Anode Heel Effect most emphasized?   show
🗑
