Whenever magnification is increased:

The formula to determine the SOD (source to object distance) is:

With digital imaging, it is impossible to overexpose the patient to radiation because the computer makes adjustments to the image.

The distance between the x-ray focal spot and the image receptor is the:

The inverse square law describes the relationship between __ and __.

The controlling factor for exposure when using a digital image receptor is:

Higher kVp results in less absorption and more variation in the intensities of photons exiting the patient.

Increasing the kVp by 15% has the same effect on exposure as

Which of the following is the correct formula for the inverse square law?

With digital imaging, the relationship between mAs and image brightness is

Changes in SID affect

The distance between the object being imaged and the image receptor is the:

Focal spot size affects only:

The relationship between kVp and the quantity of remnant radiation is known as the:

When OID cannot be reduced, it is possible to reduce size distortion by:

What is the size of the object when the MF is 1.3 and the image size is 3 cm?

Imaging a thicker body part will result in an image with

What type of relationship does mAs have with SID when the goal is to keep the exposure to the IR constant?

With digital imaging, if the image receptor is not exposed to enough radiation:

When a patient cannot fully extend his or her leg for a knee image, resulting in the knee being 4 inches away from the image receptor, what is the MF if the SID is 40 inches?

What type of relationship do mAs have with the quantity of x-rays produced?

To maintain the same amount of radiation reaching the IR, if the kVp is increased by 15% the mAs needs to:

Tube angulation may result in elongation and reduced exposure to the IR.

The indication of how much magnification is seen on a radiograph is:

__ SID and __ OID results in increased magnification.

A magnification factor of 1 cannot be achieved with radiographic imaging.

If the magnification factor is 1.25, the image is __ than the object.

Increasing the kVp:

Shape distortion is due to misalignment of the tube and/or part.

The distance between the x-ray focal spot and the object being imaged is the

Which of the following is the formula to determine magnification factor?

Using a higher SID

Quantum noise is a result of

Which of the following matrices results in a digital image with the best image quality?

Distortion is misrepresentation of the size or shape of the anatomy being imaged.

Visibility of the anatomic structures is accomplished by balancing

The ability of the imaging system to distinguish between two structures is

In order to preserve the true shape of the part in the image, what three factors should be properly aligned?

It is impossible to produce a radiographic image without unsharpness.
