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

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 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

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
