A satisfactory x-ray of the wrist is produced using a technique of 300 milliamperes (mA), 15 milliseconds, 50 kilovoltage peak (kVp), and a source-to-image distance (SID) of 40 inches. How should the mA be changed if the exposure time is decreased to 10 milliseconds?

Consider a technologist exposed to a dose rate of 3 mGy/hour at a distance of 7 feet from the x-ray source. What is the total absorbed dose to the worker during a 1 hour period if they step back to 11 feet from the source?

The y-axis for all emission spectra represents the:

Adding filtration in the path of the beam results in the x-ray emission spectrum:

If an x-ray beam has an intensity of 1.2 mGy at 60 inches, what is the intensity of the beam 40 inches?

The distance at which a focused grid can be used is most closely related to the:

The problem of unequal subject radiographic density is solved by a

The difference between two adjacent densities is

A radiograph is acquired using a source-to-image distance (SID) of 40 inches. If the radiograph is repeated using the same exposure factors, but the SID increases to 60 inches, the receptor exposure will:

A patient presents to the radiology department for a foot radiograph and upon assessment of the patient, the technologist sees that the patient has stepped on a nail and the nail is still sticking out of the plantar surface of the foot approximately two inches. This nail will create object-to-image distance (OID) that cannot be avoided on an anteroposterior (AP) foot radiograph. What steps should the radiographer take to prevent the size distortion that would be created by the long OID?
