The greatest cause of unnecessary radiation to patients that can be controlled by the limited
operator is:
A.) Patient condition
B.) Patient size
C.) Repeat exposure
D.) equipment malfunction
Repeat exposure
The limited operator can reduce repeat exposures by:
A.) Accepting marginal images
B.) Clearly instructing patients

, C.) Filter
D.) Sheild
Collimator
How does filtration reduce patient exposure?
A.) Removes the shorter-wavelength photons
