An electon ejected from the outer shell of an atom during an x-ray interaction is called:

Select all changes that occur when the original radiograph is of good quality and the mAs is cut in half and the kVp is increased by 15%.

The job of the anode is to:

A radiographic image with a lot of fog would demonstrate:

Increasing the kVp has what effect on the average energy of photons in the x-ray beam?

Select all changes that occur when the original radiograph is of good quality and the kVp is increased.

What radiographic quality does mA control?

If an x-ray beam was produced from a single point source, the resultant image would consist of:

If the x-ray tube is moved closer to the image receptor, the collimator light will

If an initial exposure is made using 800 mA, 0.02 sec, 16 mAs, 70 kVp, 58” SID, 4” OID, 5:1 grid ratio, 0.2 mm focal spot and 3.0 mm of filtration, with a 14 x 17 in field size, and the technologist changes to a 12:1 grid ratio for a second exposure without changing any other factors, what differences would you expect to see in the second exposure?1) Increased IR exposure2) Decreased IR exposure3) Increased contrast4) Decreased contrast5) Increased spatial resolution6) Decreased spatial resolution7) Increased distortion8) Decreased distortion
