Which of the following is FALSE regarding CT systems?
1. they are limited to nonoblique transverse scanning
2. they cannot generate a straight coronal or sagittal image
3. hey have no moving parts CORRECT ANSWERS 1,2,3
Xrays are used in CT because:
a. they are easily produced by the high frequency generator b. they are less harmful than the heating effects of microwave radiation
c. they penetrate the body according to specific attenuation characteristics of each tissue
d. the FDA imposes no limit on the dose to the patient CORRECT ANSWERS C
Most of the commands from the technologists are received by the: CORRECT ANSWERS operators console Xrays are produced whenever fast moving electrons collide with any form of matter because: CORRECT ANSWERS The electron loses kinetic energy which is converted into the emission of an x-ray photon
The mA determines the: CORRECT ANSWERS quantity of x-ray photons
Which of the following is a component NOT normally located in the gantry of a modern CT system? CORRECT ANSWERS array processor
Tube interscan delay time refers to: CORRECT ANSWERS the time between the end of one scan and the start of the next scan during which the tube will cool
Increased _______ will increase the likelihood that a given x-ray will penetrate a material
1. kV
2. mA
3. exposure time CORRECT ANSWERS 1
Which of the following are NOT commonly used on today's commercially available CT scanners?
1. xenon detectors
2. fourth-generation technology
3. continous rotation technology CORRECT ANSWERS 1,2
Which of the following statements is FALSE regarding occurrences after an x-ray photon penetrates the detector aperture? 1. the photon can pass through the detector unmeasured 2. the photon is converted completely into a electron
3. the measured signal in enhanced by an amplifier CORRECT ANSWERS 2
Scatter radiation is caused by: CORRECT ANSWERS deflections from the original trajectory of an x-ray photon through the patient
What control does the operator have over the x-rays in a CT exam? CORRECT ANSWERS the energy level and the quantity of x-rays can be selected
Which of the following is the standard that's used to achieve compatibility for image transfer between various imaging modalities, viewing stations, and printers in a hospital? CORRECT ANSWERS DICOM
The enormous heat that builds up in the CT tube is caused by what? CORRECT ANSWERS Collision of the electron beam with the tungsten target on the tube anode _________________ made helical imaging possible CORRECT ANSWERS Continuous rotation
scanners
The patient table:
a. may move continuously during the scan
b. can never be positioned automatically by software due to safety precautions
c. remains stationary through the exam once it is initially positioned
d. only moves after each slice is completed CORRECT ANSWERS A
The main purpose of the detector is to: CORRECT ANSWERS capture x-ray photons and convert them to a measurable signal
The cathode filament: CORRECT ANSWERS helps determine the size of the focal spot
Which of the statements in TRUE:
1. kV is the voltage potential between the tube cathode and anode while mA ultimately controls the filament temp of the cathode filament
2. kV controls the energy level of the x-ray photons and mA controls the number of x-ray photons emitted from the tube
3. although kV and the mA affect the operation of the CT x-ray tube, the two parameters have no
bearing on the image quality CORRECT ANSWERS 1,2
The number of electrons that flow from the cathode to the anode is controlled by the: CORRECT
ANSWERS mA
Which of the following is TRUE regarding solid state detectors:
1. x-ray photons cause the detectors to generate a flash of light
2. they are the detector type used on most CT scanners
3. they can be used in both third-generation and fourth-generation CT systems CORRECT ANSWERS 1,2,3
The slip ring on continous rotation CT scanners:
1. prevent the high voltage cable from winding up
2. allows the exam to commence more rapidly
3. eliminates the need for the reversal of gantry frame rotation CORRECT ANSWERS 1,2,3

Which technology do multi-row detector scanners employ? CORRECT ANSWERS third-
generation
Which of the following statements is FALSE regarding the collection of CT data?
1. long scan times are more desirable because they average out motion artifacts
2. reconstruction process used to create the image occurs in the array processor
3. to collect the complete st of CT data, x-rays must be passed through the body at many different angles
4. the detectors measure the x-rays which completely penetrate the patient CORRECT ANSWERS 1
On a single-row detector scanner, collimation:
1. controls the slice thickness
