    A physician who interprets medical images and performs radiographic procedures is referred to as a 

    • Radiologist

    • Radiographer

    • Technologist

    • X-ray tech

    Correct Answer
    A. Radiologist
    Explanation
    A physician who interprets medical images and performs radiographic procedures is referred to as a radiologist. Radiologists are medical doctors who specialize in diagnosing and treating diseases and injuries using medical imaging techniques such as X-rays, CT scans, MRI scans, and ultrasound. They are trained to interpret the images and provide accurate diagnoses based on their findings. Radiographers, technologists, and X-ray techs are also involved in performing radiographic procedures, but they do not have the same level of medical training and expertise as radiologists.

    The purpose of filtration is to

    • Eliminate scatter

    • Improve the quality of radiographic images

    • Reduce patient does

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Reduce patient does
    Explanation
    Filtration is used in radiography to reduce patient dose by removing low-energy x-rays that are not useful for image formation. These low-energy x-rays contribute to patient dose without adding any valuable information to the image. By reducing patient dose, filtration helps to minimize the potential harmful effects of radiation exposure while still producing high-quality radiographic images. Therefore, the correct answer is to reduce patient dose.

    This is referred to as the quantity factor of the x-ray beam

    • MAs

    • KVp

    Correct Answer
    A. MAs
    Explanation
    The given answer, mAs, refers to milliampere-seconds, which is a measure of the quantity or amount of x-ray radiation produced. It represents the product of the tube current (measured in milliamperes) and the exposure time (measured in seconds). Increasing the mAs value increases the number of x-ray photons produced, resulting in a higher quantity or intensity of the x-ray beam. Therefore, mAs is considered the quantity factor of the x-ray beam.

    Ionization is the process of an atom gaining or losing a

    • Proton

    • Neutron

    • Electron

    • Isotope

    Correct Answer
    A. Electron
    Explanation
    Ionization is the process by which an atom gains or loses an electron. When an atom gains an electron, it becomes negatively charged and is called an anion. Conversely, when an atom loses an electron, it becomes positively charged and is called a cation. This process is essential in many chemical reactions and plays a crucial role in the formation of compounds. Therefore, the correct answer is electron.

    The target of the x-ray tube is made of

    • Tungsten

    • Aluminum

    • Lead

    • Graphite

    Correct Answer
    A. Tungsten
    Explanation
    Tungsten is commonly used as the target material in X-ray tubes because it has a high melting point and can withstand the high temperatures generated during X-ray production. Additionally, tungsten has a high atomic number, which means it is effective at producing X-rays with high energy and penetrating power. This makes tungsten an ideal choice for producing high-quality X-ray images.
