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?

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:

During a fluoroscopy procedure, the x-ray technologist stands at 5 meters from the x-ray tube for 1 hour and acquires an equivalent dose of 0.1 mSv. If the technologist had stood at a distance of 1 meter, what would their dose have been?

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?

An x-ray source is producing an entrance skin exposure of 3.1 mSv per hour at 10 cm from the source. What is the entrance skin exposure at 15 cm from the source?

Which one of these tells the radiographer what new mAs to use when the SID changes to maintain IR exposure?
