Choose the two (2) terms that are synonymous with noise suppression:

Which of the following exposure indicators is used by Agfa?

Which of the following are ways to avoid dose creep? Use the 15% rule Use optimal kVp for all anatomical areas Increase mAs to increase density

Low-pass filtering is best explained by which of the following statements?

Which of the following statements is/are true in regards to frequency? Frequency is a measure of the total amount of contrast in an image A high frequency image will demonstrate high density A low frequency image will demonstrate low contrast

A digital radiographic image a lateral humerus is performed on an Agfa system with an exposure indicator of 0.67. This would result in what type of exposure to the patient?

Identify each of the following statements as a myth or a fact in regards to digital imaging.  Responses may be used more than once.

What does an exposure index indicate?

A patient comes into the department and bilateral femur radiographs are ordered.  A satisfactory radiograph is taken on the left femur measuring 11 cm using manual technical factors of 72 kVp and 5 mAs.  The patient’s right femur is very swollen due to injury and measures 15 cm in thickness.  Which of the following sets of technical factors would be optimal in maintaining density for the right femur while keeping radiation exposure to a minimum?
