ASRT Exam with 100% correct AnswersThe AEC controls which of the following exposure variables?
kVp
FSS
Seconds
mA - Correct Answers -mA. (The AED is designed to control the time of exposure. The
other remaining factors are chosen by the radiographer.)
All of the following are within acceptable kVp accuracy variance for an exposure using
80 kVp except for ______kVp.
86
84
82
76 - Correct Answers -86 (The kVp variance is within +5%. At 80kVp the variance is
4kVp (80 x 0.05 = 4). Therefore numbers 76kVp through 84 kVp are within acceptable
limits.)
A 25-gauge, 0.5 inch needle is best used for a _______ injection.
intradermal
intramuscular
