shown. What plane is indicated with the green
arrow?

B. Coronal
C. Sagital
D. None of the above
2. The first x-‐ray exposure of a hand in 1896 was about 150 mSv. What is the
typical dose of a similar exposure on a modern x-‐ray machine?
A. 1µSv
B. 0.1 mSv
C. 10 mSv

A. Shorter than 0.5 seconds
B. Between 0.5 and 1 second
C. Between 1 and 5 minutes
D. Longer than 5 minutes
4. In the figure on the right, two images are shown acquired with two different
imaging modalities. What image was acquired using which modality?
A. Left = CT, Right = conventional x-‐ray
B. Left = conventional x-‐ray Right = CT
C. Left = conventional x-‐ray
Right = x-‐ray angiography
D. Left = x-‐ray angiography
Right= conventional x-‐ray
, X-‐ray interaction and production
5. The linear energy transfer (LET) is defined at the amount of energy deposited
by a charged particle per unit path length in tissue. If the charge of the particle
is Q and the kinetic energy of the particle is E, which particle has the highest
LET?

B. Proton (Q=1) with E = 100 keV
C. Electron (Q=1) with E = 1 MeV
D. Electron (Q=1) with E = 100 keV
6. In an x-‐ray tube, a large part of the x-‐ray spectrum consists of
Bremsstrahlung. The probability of Bremsstrahlung production is proportional to
Z2/m2. The bombardment of which particles on which anode material produces
the highest intensity of Bremsstrahlung?
A. Protons (Z=1, m=1) on tungsten (Z=74, m=183)
B. Protons (Z=1, m=1) on molybdenum (Z=42, m=96)

B. Photoelectric absorption is more important than Compton scattering ins oft
tissue
