An increase in kVp by 15 percent will cause an approximate ____ in the IR exposure.

Shape distortion is related to a misalignment of, or angle present on, which of the following?

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

Source-to-image distance (SID) is the distance from the:

Which combination of variables will result in a radiograph with the lowest spatial resolution?

A technologist acquires an x-ray of the pelvis using 100 kilovoltage peak (kVp), 10 milliampere-seconds (mAs), 40 inches source-to-image distance (SID), and a no grid. The exposure level is good, but the contrast is too low. If the exam is repeated using a 16:1 grid, what new technique should be employed?

The normal diagnostic x-ray tube has a filtration equivalency of about 0.5 mm aluminum equivalent. This is called:

What type of shape distortion is present when there is angulation of an image receptor?

If an optimal radiograph is acquired at 72 inches with an air kerma of 4 mGy, what will the air kerma be if the distance is reduced to 40 inches?
