Grid ratio
The effective energy of an X-ray beam is approximately:
Equal to kVp
Half of kVp
One-third of kVp
Twice the kVp
Which phenomenon causes off-focus radiation in an X-ray tube?
Compton interaction
Secondary electron emission
Bremsstrahlung radiation
Filtration
The purpose of added filtration is to:
Increase beam intensity
Increase contrast
Remove low-energy photons
Reduce kVp
Automatic Exposure Control (AEC) terminates exposure based on:
Exposure time
kVp
Radiation reaching detector
Tube current
Which TLD property allows repeated use without significant loss of sensitivity?
Linearity
Fading
C) Annealing
D) Energy dependence
The main advantage of TLD over film badge is:
Immediate readout
Lower cost
Wider dose range
Permanent record
Which radiation quantity is expressed in Sievert (Sv)?
Exposure
Absorbed dose
Equivalent dose
Activity
The most effective method to reduce radiation exposure to staff during fluoroscopy is:
Increase mA
Stand close to patient
Use pulsed fluoroscopy
Remove collimation
High-osmolality contrast media produce adverse reactions mainly due to:
Chemical toxicity
Osmotic shift of fluid
Allergic mechanism
pH imbalance
