A radiographic suite is in operation 5 days per week.  The average number of patients per day is 30, and the average number of films per patient is 3.  Also, the average technical exposure factors are 80 kVp, 400 mA, and 0.1 second.  Find the weekly workload.

The inner layer of bone is described as:

Which of the following accurately describe film badges? A control badge is is used with each batch of badges Radiation exposure is determined by measuring film densities with an sensitometer The film densities are plotted on a characteristic curve

The categories of radiation survey instruments include: Those with a readout scale Those without a readout scale Ionization-chamber based

A technique of 160 mAs and 70 kVp has been employed in producing a satisfactory radiograph. In order to reduce this to 80 mAs and reduce patient dose, what kVp should be employed to maintain density?

Whenever possible, the following areas of the body should be selectively shielded from the useful beam: Lens of the eye Breast Extremities

The lead glass window of the control booth barrier in a stationary radiographic installation typically consists of which of the following?

Technical factors for fluoroscopic procedures for children necessitate a decrease in peak kilovoltage by as much as:

An ionization chamber-type survey meter can measure which types of radiation?

A radiograph is performed on a pelvis at 70 kVp and 50 mAs and the image demonstrates excessive radiographic density.  What set of technical factors should be used to decrease density and patient dose?
