As kVp decreases, subject contrast decreases.

During successful x-ray production, electrons travel from:

At a high kVp there are far less Photoelectric interactions in comparison to Compton scatter.

The distance between the focal spot and the object is known as the:

The atomic number of iodine is ________.

A change from a large field of view of 14×17″ to a small field of view of 10×12″ will require an _______ in mAs to compensate for the total IR exposure.

Small focal spots are utilized until the mA station is set above:

The 3 essential aspects of tissues that determine their attenuation properties and the resulting subject contrast are:

Which of the following would cause the most attenuation within a patient?

Gaseous contrast agents, such as air, would produce radiolucent regions of the image due to the low density or low attenuation.
