You have just taken a thoracic radiograph at 50 kVP and 100 mA at 1/10
second. The pet's breathing caused his chest to move during the exposure,
resulting in a blurry image. On the retake, how can you correct for this motion
to create a clear image of the same density?
✓ Reduce the time to 1/20 second and increase the mA to 200.
You have radiographed a fractured femur in a large dog. The resulting image
is too gray; that is, you can see many shades of gray and a lot of detail in the
muscle layers, but the bone is also too gray, and bony fragments are difficult
to see. How can you best correct your settings to create a clearer image of
the fractured bone?
✓ Decrease the kVP.
Which statement is most accurate concerning the effects of a change in
focus-film distance (FFD) when taking radiographs?
✓ The mAs setting must be changed according to a standard
mathematical formula.
