The effect of mAs upon IR exposure is - Answer -directly proportional

The relationship between exposure and SID is - Answer -inversely proportional to the
square of the distance

A change in kVp, as an exposure factor, affects - Answer -average beam energy, the
amount of scatter production, and beam intensity

The density maintenance/direct maintenance formula mathematically resembles the -
Answer -inverse square law

If you decrease kVp, what happens to density/receptor exposure? - Answer -decreases

,As you analyze your image, you come to the conclusion that it must have more
exposure. As a general rule, you should increase - Answer -mAs by 2x

Which of the following has NO impact on receptor exposure? - Answer -focal spot size

Which of the following has NO impact on radiation exposure to the patient? - Answer -
Focal spot size

Which statement is FALSE? - Answer -As mAs decreases, exposure increases.

The air gap technique can be used as an alternative to: - Answer -Grids

In the event of making a single exposure that is critical to the exam success, most
experienced technologists will - Answer -overexpose the IR slightly, provide enough
exposure to permit viewing with a bright light or adequate histogram.

The grid conversion factor for a 12:1 grid is: - Answer -5

Which rule is used as a guide to maintain the same density when kVp changes? -
Answer -15% rule

A severely underexposed image will - Answer -be unable to visualize recorded detail

If a particular radiographic exposure requires 50 mAs and the 400 mA station is
selected, what exposure time is required? - Answer -1/8 second

Because of the "heel effect", x-ray beam intensity - Answer -is greater under the
cathode side of the tube

Image brightness on an image display monitor is controlled by - Answer -window level

If you change the focal spot from small to large, what happens to density/receptor
exposure? - Answer -nothing happens

A chest radiograph is produces with sufficient optical receptor exposure using 10 mAs
at 72 inches. If the same radiograph is performed at 44 inches SID, what new mAs
should be used to produce the radiograph with the same receptor exposure? - Answer -
3.7 mAs

The anode heel effect is more pronounced with - Answer -a 10 degree target angle

The optical density range visible to the human eye is - Answer -0.25 to 2.50

The 15% rule changes - Answer -contrast and density

, Most radiographers will use more exposure than required for a procedure. This does
what to patient exposure? - Answer -increases patient exposure

The brightness of the image on a viewing monitor is - Answer -a function of the monitor

The principal controlling factor of radiographic image density is - Answer -mAs

increasing kVp from 85 to 98 kVp - Answer -15% rule

direct relationship between mAs and distance - Answer -density maintenance formula

require an increase in mAs as ratio increases - Answer -radiographic grids

affected by photographic properties of image - Answer -visibility of detail

controls x-ray beam quantity - Answer -mAs

variation in beam intensity along the long axis of beam - Answer -anode heel effect

small and large - Answer -focal spot size

controls the average energy of the x-ray beam - Answer -kVp

In order to reduce patient entrance skin exposure (ESE), higher kVp exposures are a
consideration. It is important to remember that - Answer -kVp values that are too high
produce more scatter and reduce contrast

A radiograph with few shades of gray exhibit - Answer -high contrast

After completing a radiograph using 27 mAs at 90 kVp, the image demonstrates
adequate overall density but an area that is under penetrated. In order to produce an
optimum image in terms of contrast and penetration, the repeat image should be taken
at - Answer -27 mAs and 100 kVp

The concept of contrast as it is displayed on a soft-copy monitor for digital images is
described as - Answer -dynamic range

As the slope of the D log E curve _______, contrast _______. - Answer -increases,
increases.

As tissue density increases, the amount of scatter ______, which also results in a
_________ in contrast. - Answer -increases, decreases

As kVp increases, the percentage of Compton interactions _______ and contrast
______. - Answer -increases; Decreases
