Distortion

        Help!  

Question
Answer
What is distortion?   The second of two geometric properties affecting radiograph image quality  
🗑
What is the only possible size distortion in radiography?   Magnification  
🗑
What are the two classifications of distortion?   Size or shape distortions  
🗑
True or false can distortion exist even if it can't be seen due to poor visibility?   True  
🗑
Factors that Control distortion with size or what   OID and SID  
🗑
Factors that control distortion with shape or what?   Alignment and angulation  
🗑
What are the reasons distortion would be a factor with alignment?   Central ray part and image receptor  
🗑
What are the reasons distortion would be a factor with angulation   Direction and degree  
🗑
The greater the SID ______ the magnification   greater smaller  
🗑
Distortion is directly related to what?   positioning  
🗑
True or false X-ray photons can be reflected for refracted by ordinary methods?   False, they can only diverge from their point of source  
🗑
SID   Source to image receptor distance  
🗑
OID   Object to image receptor distance  
🗑
Does reduced Magnification size distortion increase or decrease the resolution of recorded detail?   increases  
🗑
What is the magnification factor formula   M= SID ------ SOD  
🗑
what is Fidelity?   – true representation (the sharpness) of the image of the radiographed object  
🗑
Property of geometric factors:   OID SID FSS (focal spot size) Distortion  
🗑
Geometric factors:   Magnification Distortion Focal spot blur  
🗑
A longer SID __________________magnification A shorter SID_________________ magnification   decrease increases  
🗑
OID has significant impact at both   magnification and resolution (detail)  
🗑
what is MF ?   Magnification factor  
🗑
what is the formula for MF?   MF=. Image size ____________ object size  
🗑
will the image size be bigger or smaller than the object?   bigger  
🗑
What is the formula for calculating object size?   OS = image size --------------- MF  
🗑
what are the two factors that affect image magnification?   SID and SOD  
🗑
To minimize magnification Large (long) ________: use as large SID as possible   SID  
🗑
Small (short) OID: place an object as ___________as possible to the IR   close  
🗑
Define Elongation   Projects the object so it appears longer than its actual size.  
🗑
Define Foreshortening   Projects the object so that it appears shorter than its actual size.  
🗑
when does elongation occur ?   This will occur when the CR and image receptor is improperly aligned. Occurs when IR is improperly aligned  
🗑
When does foreshortening occur?   This occurs only when the part is improperly aligned (not parallel to the IR).  
🗑
What happens If object plane and IR plane is not parallel   distortion occurs  
🗑
True or false Thicker objects are less distorted than thinner object   False, they are more distorted  
🗑
