Which grid error results in grid cut-off and loss of exposure on the outside edges of the image receptor (IR)?

If an AP thoracic spine is performed with a wedge compensatory filter, the thick end of the filter should be placed over the:

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?

If the patient dose is 1 mGy at a 40 inch source-to-image distance (SID), what is the patient dose at a 72 inch SID using the same technical factors?

Which source-to-image distance will demonstrate the highest receptor exposure?

Performing a routine chest radiograph in the anterior-posterior (AP) projection will

The Line-Focus Principle describes the geometric relationship between which of the following factors within an x-ray tube?
