! Adding mAs will _________ contrast.

! In the x-ray tube, where’s the oil?

* Coherent scattering differs from Compton scattering in that coherent scattering:

! Our original technique was 60 kVp with 4.2 mAs. We want to double the IR Exposure while also creating a longer scale of contrast. What will our new technique be?

Which of the following best describes Compton scattering?

If a large OID cannot be avoided, one way to reduce the possible magnification is to:

What is the number one factor affecting spatial resolution?

If we took an x-ray at 82 kVp and 10 mAs and recieved an EI of 250 (AKA a DI of -3), what is the BEST way to correct it and shoot a 500 EI?

* In a radiographic image of the forearm, the radius and ulna  appears longer than normal. Which type of Distortion has occurred, and what is the most likely cause?   

During a chest X-ray, the tech increases the kvp from 70-100, while adjusting the mAs to maintain the same image receptor exposure. Which interaction with matter will become more dominant because of the higher kVp?
