Which of the following sets of exposure factors would produce a radiograph with the most magnification?

The equation mAs = mAs describes which of the following?

A technologist receives an exposure to ionizing radiation of approximately 2 mSv per week while standing 1 meter from a medical x-ray source. If the technologist’s distance from the x-ray source were moved to 3 meters, the weekly exposure would be: *Note: Remember to take a step back every opportunity that you can while in surgery/fluoro/portables! No one cares about your dose as much as you do/should!* 

Any misrepresentation of an anatomical structure on an image receptor that alters its size or shape defines:

* During an abdominal radiograph, the technologist increases the collimation to reduce the field size. Which of the following outcomes best describes the effect this change has on image quality and radiation interactions? 

To properly use the anode-heel effect, if you are radiographing a humerus on the table, which end should be by the cathode?

As collimation decreases, what happens to scatter?

Which three factors contribute to increased scatter radiation during an X-ray examination?

Compensatory filters (i.e. a boomerang) are typically made of:
