The intensity of the CT x ray beam can be increased by
- Increasing filtration
- Decreasing collimation
- Decreasing applied tube voltage
- Increasing collimation
Correct Answer

A. Decreasing collimation

Explanation

Decreasing collimation refers to narrowing the X-ray beam, which results in a higher intensity of the beam. This is because when the collimation is decreased, the X-ray beam is focused on a smaller area, concentrating the energy and increasing the intensity. Therefore, decreasing collimation is a way to increase the intensity of the CT X-ray beam.

Simple cysts of the kidney have average attenuation values in the range of
- -40 to 0 HU
- 0 to 20 HU
- 30 to 50 HU
- Above 60 HU
Correct Answer

A. 0 to 20 HU

Explanation

Simple cysts of the kidney typically have average attenuation values in the range of 0 to 20 HU. Attenuation values are measurements of how much the X-ray beam is weakened as it passes through different tissues. Simple cysts are fluid-filled sacs that are usually benign and do not cause any symptoms. They appear as low-density areas on CT scans, meaning they allow more X-ray beams to pass through them and have lower attenuation values. Therefore, the correct answer is 0 to 20 HU.

Which of the following CT studies of the head is typically performed without a contrast agent?
- Ct angiogram for circle of Willis
- Coronal scan to r/o pituitary tumor
- CT of brain to r/o subdural hematoma
- Ct of brain to r/o metastatic disease
Correct Answer

A. CT of brain to r/o subdural hematoma

Explanation

A CT scan of the brain to rule out a subdural hematoma is typically performed without a contrast agent because the presence of blood in the subdural space can be easily detected without the need for contrast enhancement. Contrast agents are typically used in CT angiograms to visualize blood vessels, in coronal scans to evaluate pituitary tumors, and in CT scans to rule out metastatic disease. However, in the case of a subdural hematoma, the blood is already present and can be easily identified on a non-contrast CT scan.
