The remnant radiation that did have an interaction with an anatomic structure is:

The problem of unequal subject radiographic density is solved by a

An increase in filtration has what effect on contrast?

The y-axis for all emission spectra represents the:

When the distance from the x-ray source increases, the beam intensity will:

What characteristic of the x-ray beam is influenced by changes to the source-to-image distance (SID)?

During an x-ray procedure, a technologist is exposed to an air-kerma rate of 1 mGy/hour at a distance of 3 feet from the x-ray source. What is the air-kerma rate if the technologist stands at a distance of 6 feet?

The exposure maintenance formula mathematically resembles the

A radiograph acquired at 72 inches results in a receptor exposure of 1.0 milligray (mGy). Calculate the new receptor exposure if the radiograph is acquired with the same technical factors at 60 inches.

If the patient dose is 1 mGy at a 40 inch source-to-image distance (SID), what is the patient dose at a 72 inch SID using the same technical factors?
