Spatial resolution improves with a/an _______ in motion blur and a/an ________ in geometric blur.

The image of a spherical shaped object that is exposed by the central portion of an x-ray beam will appear to have a:

When imaging the pelvis, changing from 14 × 17 collimation to 8 × 10 collimation requires:

The spaces between the lead strips of a grid are called:

How does decreasing kVp affect differential attenuation?

A radiology department’s routine protocol is to complete knee exams with the use of a grid. However, in a portable situation, the technologist does not have a grid and decides to complete the exam without a grid and without making any changes to the technique. How will the image quality change without the use of the grid?
