| HOW DOES SCATTER AFFECT CONTRAST | CONTRAST: SCATTER DECREASES IN CONTRAST
🗑
|

| HOW DOES SCATTER AFFECT DENSITY | DENSITY: AND SCATTER INCREASE IN DENSITIY
🗑

| WHAT IS THE PRIMARY SOURCE OF SCATTER RADIATION DURING EXPOSURE |
🗑
|
||||
| HOW DO CHANGES IN kVp and tissure thickness affect scatter and contrast | Decreasing kVp will DECREASE SCATTER and INCREASE CONTRAST
🗑
|
||||
| HOW DOES CHANGES INFIELD SIZE AFFECT SCATTER AND CONTRAST | DECREASING FIELD SIZE REDUCES SCATTER AND INCREASING CONTRAST
🗑

| WHEN SHOULD A GRID BE USED? | SHOULD BE USED WHEN THE BODY PART EXCEEDS 10-12cm THICK OR WHERE THE AMOUNT OF SCATTER WILL INTERFERE WITH THE IMAGE. CHEST-SPINE-PELVIS-ABDOMEN AND LARGE EXTREMITIES
🗑
|
||||
| HOW DOES GRID RATIO AFFECT THE ABSORPTION OF SCATTER | The higher the grid ratio the more scatter radiation absorbs and the higher the contrast-LIKEWISE- A low grid ratio absorbs less scatter and produces images with lower contrast
🗑
|
||||
| WHAT IS A FOCUSED GRID | They allow the passage of remnant radiation that is alligned with the lead strips, while absorbing the scatter traveling on an angle
🗑
|
||||
| HOW CAN GRID CUT OFF OCCUR? | When the primary beam is off center to the gird or the grid is tilted. Also if the wrong SID is used or if the beam is angled against the lead strips

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
To hide a column, click on the column name.
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
