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.

Most scatter radiation originates from the:

Where is the syllabus found? (not the one under the syllabus tab)

Find SOD if SID is 72″ and OID is 6″.

T/F: In the event that the focal spot is larger than a projected object, it is possible to shrink the umbra to the point that the object can disappear entirely.

T/F: Magnification is a form of Shape distortion.

Where is the “heel” located as is pertains to the anode heel effect?

T/F: Off-focus radiation is produced in the x-ray tube anode and is technically a form of primary radiation
