CT TEST QUESTIONS WITH VERIFIED
ANSWERS
What is the unit of measurement for current of electrons that flow from the filament to
the anode? - Answer-mA

Which is not a scanning parameter?
Slice thickness
Patient size
Field of view
Reconstruction algorithm - Answer-Patient size

What is the kVp range for routine body CT for adult patients? - Answer-120kvp-140kvp

Is it more common to manipulate the Kvp or the mAs for radiation dose? - Answer-The
mAs

What percent reduction in radiation dose do automatic tube current modulations provide
without degrading image quality? - Answer-15% to 40%

What factors are controlled by the CT tech? - Answer-mA , scan time, slice thickness,
field of view, reconstruction algorithm and kVp

Even when the mAs or kVp setting is too high, a good image still results. What effect is
this? - Answer-The uncoupling effect

How is the tube current predefined? - Answer-By taking an AP and lateral localizer
scans. Some adjust in real time

What is the relationship between slice thickness and table travel per rotation - Answer-
Pitch

The travel distance of the CT scan table per 360° rotation of the x-ray tube, divided by
the x-ray beam collimation width is called ________ - Answer-Pitch

_________ resolution is another term used for detail resolution. - Answer-Spatial

How man degrees is a full scan - Answer-360

How many degrees is a partial scan or half scans - Answer-180 plus the degree of arc
of the fan angle

, What is the typical range of values for scan time for a full rotation of the tube and
detector array within the gantry during helical scanning? - Answer-0.5 to 2 seconds

How many degrees is a overscan? - Answer-400 (full scan plus field of view, usually 40
degrees)

What is not considered a scanning parameter? - Answer-Patient size

Whats the advantage of overscans - Answer-Reduced motion artifacts

Which is not another name for reconstruction algorithm?
convolution filter
FC filter
spatial frequency algorithm
algorithm - Answer-spatial frequency algorithm

Which is not a factor that affects contrast resolution?

Slice thickness
Patient size
Reconstruction algorithm
CTDI phantoms - Answer-CTDI phantoms

What does high Ma achieve, lower or higher scan times? - Answer-Lower scan times

What is an alternate term for image accuracy? - Answer-Image fidelity

What is the ability of the system to differentiate between objects with similar densities. -
Answer-Low contrast resolution

What is the level of detail on the image - Answer-High contrast resolution

The systems ability to resolve as separate forms, small objects that are very close
together. - Answer-spatial resolution

If 20 lines an be seen in a 1cm section in an image of the phantom, the spatial
resolution is reported as what? - Answer-20 lines pairs per centimeter

What is used as a direct method of measuring spatial resolution? - Answer-Lines pair
phantom

What is the number of line pairs visible per unit length - Answer-Spatial frequency

What is a ratio that determines the accuracy of the image compared with the actual
object being scanned. It also indicates image fidelity. - Answer-MTF or Modulation
Transfer Function
