    What are Grids?

    • Device to remove or absorb scatter radiation as possible

    • Props patient up

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Device to remove or absorb scatter radiation as possible
    Explanation
    Grids are devices used in radiography to remove or absorb scatter radiation as much as possible. Scatter radiation is unwanted radiation that can reduce image quality by creating a foggy appearance. Grids consist of thin lead strips that are placed between the patient and the image receptor. These lead strips absorb the scattered radiation, allowing only the primary radiation to reach the image receptor. This helps in producing clearer and more accurate radiographic images.

    Attenuation is a process by which the primary beam is reduced in energy as it passes through the patient (Absorbed)

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Attenuation refers to the reduction in energy of the primary beam as it passes through the patient. This reduction occurs because the X-ray photons are absorbed by the tissues and structures within the patient's body. Therefore, the statement that attenuation is a process by which the primary beam is reduced in energy as it passes through the patient is true.

    If the KVp has more energy what does it have?

    • More penetrating force

    • Less penetrating force

    • Same penetrating force

    • No penetrating force

    Correct Answer
    A. More penetrating force
    Explanation
    When the KVp (kilovolt peak) is increased, it means that the X-ray machine is generating X-rays with higher energy levels. X-rays with higher energy have greater penetrating power, meaning they can pass through denser materials more easily. Therefore, when the KVp has more energy, it has more penetrating force.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    What does KVp do?

    • Low energy level

    • Controls penetrating ability

    • Controls time

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Controls penetrating ability
    Explanation
    KVp stands for kilovolt peak, which is a unit used to measure the potential difference in X-ray machines. This potential difference determines the energy level of the X-rays produced. By controlling the KVp, one can adjust the penetrating ability of the X-rays. Higher KVp values result in X-rays with higher energy levels, allowing them to penetrate through denser tissues. Therefore, the correct answer is that KVp controls the penetrating ability of the X-rays.

    More radiaiton makes an image

    • Lighter

    • Invisible

    • Nothing changes

    • Darker

    Correct Answer
    A. Darker
    Explanation
    When it comes to imaging, more radiation refers to an increase in the intensity or amount of radiation being used. In this context, the statement suggests that increasing the radiation will result in a darker image. This is because higher levels of radiation tend to darken or increase the density of the image, making it appear darker.

    What is a Grid Ratio?

    • Ratio of the height of the lead strips and the distance between them

    • 15% rule

    • 1 block

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Ratio of the height of the lead strips and the distance between them
    Explanation
    Grid ratio refers to the relationship between the height of the lead strips and the distance between them in a grid used in radiography. It is a measure of the grid's ability to absorb scattered radiation while allowing primary radiation to pass through. A higher grid ratio indicates better scatter radiation absorption but also requires higher technique factors to maintain image quality. Therefore, the correct answer is "Ratio of the height of the lead strips and the distance between them."

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    A higher ratio of lead strips will give a better clan up of scatter ratio

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    A higher ratio of lead strips will give a better clean up of scatter ratio because lead is a dense material that is effective in absorbing and blocking radiation. When there are more lead strips, there is a higher chance of scatter radiation being absorbed by the lead, reducing the scatter ratio. Therefore, increasing the ratio of lead strips will result in a better clean up of scatter ratio.

    Film/Screen Combinations are also used to produce a particular scale of contrast

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Film/Screen combinations are used in radiography to control the amount of radiation reaching the film, which in turn affects the scale of contrast in the resulting image. Different combinations of film and screens can be used to produce images with different levels of contrast. This allows radiographers to adjust the image to better visualize different types of tissues or structures within the body. Therefore, the statement that film/screen combinations are used to produce a particular scale of contrast is true.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    What will happen if you lower KVp?

    • Contrast will go down

    • Contrast will go up

    • Remains the same

    • Nothing

    Correct Answer
    A. Contrast will go up
    Explanation
    If you lower kilovoltage peak (kVp), the contrast will go up. Lowering the kVp increases the overall contrast in the image by emphasizing the differences between tissues with different densities, resulting in a higher level of contrast between them. Therefore, the correct answer is: contrast will go up.

    How does Filtration remove patient exposure?

    • Removes Low energy non diagnostic photons

    • Removes exposure

    • Double their exposure

    Correct Answer
    A. Removes Low energy non diagnostic photons
    Explanation
    Filtration removes low energy non-diagnostic photons, which are photons that do not contribute to producing a clear and useful image. These photons only increase patient exposure to radiation without providing any diagnostic value. By removing these photons, filtration reduces the overall radiation dose that the patient is exposed to during a medical imaging procedure, thereby minimizing the potential risks associated with radiation exposure.

    How can involuntry motion be controlled?

    • Shorten exposure time

    • Repeat

    • Do nothing to the exposure time

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Shorten exposure time
    Explanation
    Shortening the exposure time can help control involuntary motion. When the exposure time is shorter, there is less time for any involuntary movements to occur, resulting in a sharper and clearer image. This is particularly important in situations where the subject or the camera is prone to movement, such as capturing fast-moving objects or handheld photography. By reducing the exposure time, the chances of capturing a blur-free image are increased.

    What is a latent image?

    • Unprocessed, invisible image

    • Light image

    • Dark image

    • Unsteady Image

    Correct Answer
    A. Unprocessed, invisible image
    Explanation
    A latent image refers to an unprocessed and invisible image that is formed on a photosensitive material, such as photographic film or a digital sensor, after exposure to light. This image is not immediately visible and requires further processing, such as development or digital processing, to make it visible or to produce a final image.

    What happens when scatter radiation reaches the IR, what will it do?

    • Cause a fogging effect (Grey Effect)

    • White effect

    • Does not show up

    • A normal image

    Correct Answer
    A. Cause a fogging effect (Grey Effect)
    Explanation
    When scatter radiation reaches the image receptor (IR), it causes a fogging effect, also known as the grey effect. This occurs because scatter radiation contributes to the overall exposure of the IR, leading to a decrease in image contrast and the appearance of a hazy or greyish background. This can reduce the visibility of important anatomical details and potentially affect the diagnostic quality of the image.

    Rate this question:

  • 15. 

    If you lower you KVp, what happens to your image?

    • Nothing

    • Darker

    • Lighter

    Correct Answer
    A. Lighter
    Explanation
    Lowering the KVp (kilovoltage peak) in radiography decreases the overall energy of the X-ray beam. This reduction in energy leads to a decrease in the penetration ability of the X-rays, resulting in a lighter image. Therefore, when you lower the KVp, the image appears lighter.

    A Film/Screen Combinations are cassettes with intensifying  screens that emit a specific color of light and the x-ray film that is sensitive to that same color of light

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Film/screen combinations are cassettes that contain intensifying screens and x-ray film. These screens emit a specific color of light that matches the sensitivity of the film. This combination enhances the visibility of the x-ray image by converting the X-ray energy into visible light. Therefore, the statement is true.

  • 17. 

    With a smaller OID there is better recorded detail.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    A smaller OID (Object-to-Image Distance) refers to the distance between the object being imaged and the image receptor. When the OID is smaller, it means that the object is closer to the image receptor, resulting in better recorded detail. This is because a smaller OID reduces the amount of magnification and geometric distortion in the image, leading to a clearer and more accurate representation of the object. Therefore, the statement "With a smaller OID there is better recorded detail" is true.

    Rate this question:

  • 18. 

    A difference of attenuation causes a formation of the image?

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Attenuation refers to the reduction in intensity of a signal as it travels through a medium. In the context of imaging, a difference in attenuation can occur when different tissues or structures in the body absorb or scatter the imaging signal to varying degrees. This difference in attenuation can lead to the formation of an image, as it allows for the differentiation of tissues and structures based on their varying levels of signal intensity. Therefore, it is true that a difference in attenuation causes the formation of an image.

  • 19. 

    Less radiation makes an image?

    • Lighter

    • Darker

    • Invisible

    • Nothing changes

    Correct Answer
    A. Lighter
    Explanation
    When it is mentioned that "less radiation makes an image," it implies that there is a decrease in the amount of radiation used to capture the image. In imaging, radiation refers to the intensity of light or other electromagnetic waves used to create the image. When there is less radiation, it means that there is less light or electromagnetic waves being used. Therefore, the image produced will be lighter because there is less intensity of light or waves to create a darker image.

    What consists of many lead strips separated by a radiolucent material placed between the patient and the IR?

    • Cones

    • Collimators

    • Cylinders

    • Grids

    Correct Answer
    A. Grids
    Explanation
    Grids consist of many lead strips separated by a radiolucent material placed between the patient and the IR. This arrangement helps to absorb scatter radiation and improve image quality by reducing the amount of scattered radiation that reaches the image receptor. Grids are commonly used in radiography to enhance image contrast and reduce the appearance of scattered radiation artifacts.

    What is needed to cause the e-stream to accelerate at an extremely high speed from the cathode to the anode?

    • MAs

    • KVp (high Voltage)

    • Electric

    • Light

    Correct Answer
    A. KVp (high Voltage)
    Explanation
    To cause the e-stream to accelerate at an extremely high speed from the cathode to the anode, a high voltage, specifically kVp (kilovolt peak), is needed. The high voltage creates a strong electric field between the cathode and anode, which accelerates the electrons in the e-stream. This acceleration results in the e-stream moving at a high speed towards the anode. The other options mentioned, mAs (milliamperes per second), electric, and light, do not directly contribute to the acceleration of the e-stream.

    Static Images are Spot Films cassettes that are exposed by the remnant beam

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Static Images are Spot Films cassettes that are exposed by the remnant beam. This statement is true. Static Images are a type of radiographic imaging technique that involves using a cassette to capture images. Spot Films cassettes are specifically designed to capture images of a specific area or spot. These cassettes are exposed by the remnant beam, which is the radiation that passes through the patient and interacts with the cassette to create the image. Therefore, the statement is correct in stating that static images are spot films cassettes exposed by the remnant beam.

    What DIRECTLY controls the energy/penetrating ability of the primary beam?

    • MAs

    • KVp

    • Force

    Correct Answer
    A. KVp
    Explanation
    KVp, or kilovoltage peak, directly controls the energy or penetrating ability of the primary beam in radiography. Increasing the KVp increases the energy of the X-ray photons, resulting in a higher penetrating ability. Conversely, decreasing the KVp decreases the energy and penetrating ability of the X-ray photons. Therefore, KVp is the parameter that directly controls the energy/penetrating ability of the primary beam in radiography.

  • 24. 

    The visible difference between adjacent radiographic densities?

    • Density

    • Contrast

    • KVp

    • MAs

    Correct Answer
    A. Contrast
    Explanation
    Contrast refers to the visible difference between adjacent radiographic densities. It is a measure of how well different structures within an image can be distinguished from one another. Higher contrast means there is a greater difference in density between adjacent structures, resulting in a clearer and more defined image. Lower contrast, on the other hand, means that the density difference between adjacent structures is smaller, resulting in a less distinct image.

    What are some exposure factors? (aka Technique)

    • KVp

    • Ma

    • Sec

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. KVp
    A. Ma
    A. Sec
    Explanation
    Exposure factors, also known as techniques, are parameters that are adjusted to control the amount of radiation exposure during imaging procedures. KVp (kilovolt peak), ma (milliamperage), and sec (exposure time in seconds) are all examples of exposure factors. KVp determines the quality of the x-ray beam, ma controls the quantity of radiation produced, and sec determines the duration of the exposure. By adjusting these factors, radiographers can optimize image quality while minimizing patient radiation dose.

    To result in equivalent mAs values, mA & time must change in the opposite direction by the same factor; If you raise one you have to lower the other

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The statement is true because in order to maintain equivalent mAs values (which represents the total amount of radiation delivered to the patient), the mA (milliamperage) and time must change in opposite directions by the same factor. This means that if you increase the mA, you must decrease the time, and vice versa. This ensures that the total amount of radiation delivered remains the same, regardless of the specific combination of mA and time used.

    Correct Answer
    A. Penumbra
    Explanation
    The fuzzy border of an object on a radiograph is referred to as the penumbra. This term describes the blurred or softened edge that is seen around the object. The penumbra is caused by the scattering of radiation as it passes through the object, resulting in a less defined border on the radiograph.

    How does distance affect density?

    • 15% Rule

    • Inverse Square Law

    • Stay the same

    • Has no affect

    Correct Answer
    A. Inverse Square Law
    Explanation
    The Inverse Square Law states that as distance increases, the density decreases. This means that the density of a substance or object decreases exponentially as the distance from it increases. The law states that the intensity of a physical quantity (such as light, sound, or gravitational force) is inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the source. Therefore, as the distance increases, the density decreases accordingly.

    What are the steps taken to turn "Latnet Images" into visible images?

    • Develop (1st)

    • Fix (2nd)

    • Wash (3rd)

    • Dry (4th)

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Develop (1st)
    A. Fix (2nd)
    A. Wash (3rd)
    A. Dry (4th)
    Explanation
    The process of turning "Latnet Images" into visible images involves several steps. The first step is to develop the images, which refers to the chemical process of converting the latent image on the film into a visible image. After development, the next step is to fix the images, which involves removing any unexposed or undeveloped silver halide crystals from the film. Once the fixing process is complete, the images need to be washed to remove any residual chemicals. Finally, the images are dried to ensure they are ready for viewing.

    Changing either mA or S will cause a change in  the degree of blackening?

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Changing either mA or S will cause a change in the degree of blackening because mA refers to the milliamperage, which determines the amount of current passing through the X-ray tube. Increasing mA will result in a higher current and therefore a darker image. Similarly, changing S, which stands for exposure time, will also affect the degree of blackening. Increasing the exposure time will allow more X-rays to reach the film or detector, resulting in a darker image. Therefore, both mA and S have an impact on the degree of blackening.

    What can under or over development in the chemical processing do?

    • Nothing

    • Change range of visible densities

    • Degrade the radiographic contrast

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Change range of visible densities
    A. Degrade the radiographic contrast
    Explanation
    Under or over development in chemical processing can change the range of visible densities and degrade the radiographic contrast. This means that the resulting image may have a wider or narrower range of shades of gray, making it difficult to distinguish between different areas of the image. Additionally, the contrast between different structures or tissues may be reduced, making it harder to identify specific details or abnormalities in the image.

    If the KVp is increased what kind of image do you get?

    • Lighter image

    • Darker image

    • No image

    Correct Answer
    A. Darker image
    Explanation
    If the KVp (kilovoltage peak) is increased, it means that the X-ray machine is producing X-rays with higher energy levels. Higher energy X-rays have the ability to penetrate through objects more easily, resulting in less absorption and a darker image. Therefore, increasing the KVp will result in a darker image.

    Motion is NOT the most common cause of radiographic unsharpness

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Motion is NOT the most common cause of radiographic unsharpness. This statement is false. Motion is indeed one of the most common causes of radiographic unsharpness. When there is motion during the exposure, such as patient movement or equipment vibration, it can result in blurry or unsharp images. Other factors that can cause radiographic unsharpness include focal spot size, object-to-image receptor distance, and geometric factors. However, motion is often the primary cause and needs to be minimized to obtain clear and sharp radiographic images.

    Main controlling factor of contrast?

    • MA

    • KVp

    • MAs

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. KVp
    Explanation
    The main controlling factor of contrast is KVp, which stands for kilovoltage peak. KVp determines the energy level of the X-ray beam, which directly affects the contrast of the resulting image. Higher KVp values result in a higher energy beam, producing lower contrast images with a wider range of gray tones. Lower KVp values, on the other hand, result in a lower energy beam, producing higher contrast images with a more distinct difference between black and white areas. Therefore, KVp is the primary factor that controls the overall contrast in an X-ray image.

    How can voluntary motion be controlled?

    • Patient hold still

    • Hold breath

    • Shorten exposure times

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Patient hold still
    A. Hold breath
    A. Shorten exposure times
    Explanation
    Voluntary motion can be controlled by asking the patient to hold still, hold their breath, and by shortening exposure times. These measures help to minimize any movement during a medical procedure or imaging scan, ensuring clear and accurate results. By instructing the patient to remain still, holding their breath to reduce any internal movement, and reducing the time of exposure, the chances of motion artifacts or blurring in the images are significantly reduced. This allows for better visualization and interpretation of the medical images.

    What is the basis for radiographic contrast that attenuate the primary beam to differing degrees?

    • KVp

    • MAs

    • Differential Attenuation

    • Absorption

    Correct Answer
    A. Differential Attenuation
    Explanation
    Differential attenuation is the basis for radiographic contrast that attenuates the primary beam to differing degrees. This refers to the phenomenon where different tissues in the body absorb and scatter X-rays to varying extents. This differential absorption creates contrast in the resulting radiographic image, allowing for the visualization of different structures and abnormalities. KVp and mAs are factors that can be adjusted to control the overall exposure and brightness of the image, but they do not directly affect the differential attenuation of the X-rays.

    • Collimators

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Cones
    A. Cylinders
    A. Collimators
    Explanation
    The types of beam limitations are cones, cylinders, and collimators. These are devices used to control and shape the path and spread of a beam of energy or particles. Cones are typically used to focus or narrow the beam, cylinders are used to shape or direct the beam, and collimators are used to limit the size or range of the beam. These limitations are important in various fields such as medicine, physics, and engineering, where precise control and targeting of the beam is necessary.

    When does Attenuation vary?

    • Different types of body tissue

    • Bone (White)

    • Muscle

    • Heart (most dense muscle of body- White)

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Different types of body tissue
    A. Bone (White)
    A. Muscle
    A. Heart (most dense muscle of body- White)
    Explanation
    Attenuation refers to the reduction in the intensity of a signal or energy as it passes through a medium. In the context of the given options, attenuation varies depending on the different types of body tissue. Each type of tissue has a different density and composition, which affects how much the signal is absorbed or scattered as it passes through. Bone, being a dense tissue, attenuates the signal more compared to muscle or heart tissue. The heart, being the most dense muscle in the body, also contributes to attenuation. Therefore, the correct answer includes different types of body tissue, bone, muscle, and heart.

    How can object unsharpness be lessened? Correct use of:

    • Focal Spot Size

    • SID

    • OID

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Focal Spot Size
    A. SID
    A. OID
    Explanation
    Object unsharpness can be lessened by correctly using the focal spot size, SID (source-to-image distance), and OID (object-to-image distance). The focal spot size refers to the size of the X-ray beam at the point of origin, and a smaller focal spot size can result in sharper images. The SID is the distance between the X-ray source and the image receptor, and a longer SID can reduce magnification and improve image sharpness. The OID is the distance between the object being imaged and the image receptor, and minimizing the OID can also enhance image sharpness. By properly manipulating these factors, object unsharpness can be reduced.

    What is responsible for the production of densities of the radiograph?

    • KVp

    • MAs

    • Scatter Radiation

    • Absorption

    Correct Answer
    A. MAs
    Explanation
    mAs, or milliampere-seconds, is responsible for the production of densities on a radiograph. It refers to the product of the tube current (measured in milliamperes) and the exposure time (measured in seconds). Increasing mAs increases the number of X-ray photons produced, resulting in a higher density or darkness on the radiograph. Conversely, decreasing mAs reduces the number of X-ray photons, leading to a lower density or brightness on the radiograph. Therefore, mAs directly controls the overall darkness or brightness of the radiographic image.

    What are the major types of image receptors?

    • Film / screen

    • Digital

    • Fluoroscopic

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Film / screen
    A. Digital
    A. Fluoroscopic
    Explanation
    The major types of image receptors are film/screen, digital, and fluoroscopic. Film/screen is a traditional method where X-rays are captured on a film and then developed. Digital imaging uses electronic sensors to capture X-rays, which are then converted into digital images. Fluoroscopic imaging involves real-time X-ray imaging, where the X-rays pass through the patient and create a continuous image on a screen. These different types of image receptors offer various advantages and applications in medical imaging.

    Major components of Fluoroscopic Image?

    • X-Ray Tube

    • Image Intensifier

    • TV Camera

    • TV Monitor

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. X-Ray Tube
    A. Image Intensifier
    A. TV Camera
    A. TV Monitor
    Explanation
    The major components of a fluoroscopic image are the X-Ray Tube, Image Intensifier, TV Camera, and TV Monitor. The X-Ray Tube is responsible for producing the X-Ray beam that passes through the patient's body. The Image Intensifier enhances the X-Ray image and converts it into a visible light image. The TV Camera captures the visible light image and converts it into an electronic signal. Finally, the TV Monitor displays the electronic signal as a real-time image for the healthcare professional to view and interpret.
