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

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

Shape distortion always results in a loss of image quality and should therefore be avoided.

The central ray is located in the center of the:

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

When the anatomy being imaged is parallel to the image receptor, and the X-ray beam is angled, what type of shape distortion will result?

If the OID is 8 inches and the SID is 72 inches, what is the magnification factor?

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?

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

When changing your SID from 72” to 56”
