A radiographer wants to use the 15% rule to reduce the possibility of motion from an original set technique of 70 kVp and 10 mAs.  What new technique would be used?  (round to the nearest answer)

The ______ interaction occurs the most with high atomic number absorbers such as bone and positive contrast media and is responsible for the production of radiographic contrast.

What x-ray interaction within the patient produces no scatter radiation, and therefore leave a microscopic “white” spot wherever it occurs in the resulting image:

Which of these x-ray tube parts consists of a disc that rotates when x-rays are produced?

Which of the following affects focal spot size?

With an SID of 40 inches, and an OID of 10 inches, what is the factor of magnification? (round to the nearest answer)

The bundle or cloud of electrons formed by the filament, waiting to be transferred across the x-ray tube is termed:

T/F: Off-focus radiation is produced in the x-ray tube anode and is technically a form of primary radiation

Approximately _____% of all scattered x-rays originate from Compton interactions.

Which of the following would cause the least amount of magnification of the spine on a radiograph?
