to remove which electron from the atom?
K-shell - correct answer ✔✔What electron shell has the highest binding energy?
It is higher - correct answer ✔✔What happens to the total energy of the electron when the electron is
further from the nucleus?
Kinetic energy of the photoelectron - correct answer ✔✔What is the symbol Eke known as?

entrance skin exposure (ESE)?
Increases dose - correct answer ✔✔What happens to patient dose as kVp is decreased and mAs is
increased?
Decreases ESE - correct answer ✔✔What happens to entrance skin exposure (ESE) if the source image
distance (SID) and source object distance (SOD) are increased?
10 percent - correct answer ✔✔When the source object distance (SOD) and source image distance (SID)
are between 40 and 50 inches one study states that the entrance skin exposure (ESE) decreases by what
percentage?
50-100 - correct answer ✔✔How many chest x-rays would a patient have to have in one year to equal
the natural background radiation?
Radiographer - correct answer ✔✔Who has the principal responsibility to present the patient with
enough information to allow the patient to reach a decision regarding the examination?

the thorax, in millirads?
Increases dose - correct answer ✔✔What happens to patient dose when a grid is used?
Increases transmission - correct answer ✔✔What happens to the transmission of photons when the kVp
is increased with no other change in the technical factors for an exposure?
