When the distance between the x-ray source and the point of measurement increases, the beam energy will:

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?

The source of x-ray emission within an x-ray tube is called the:

To ensure an acceptable amount of unsharpness during macro-radiograpic or mammographic studies, a/an ______________ should be employed.

A radiograph is made with a 36-inch source-to-image distance (SID) resulting in a receptor exposure of 0.01 milligray (mGy). What will the receptor exposure be if the SID is changed to 72 inches?

If an initial exposure is made using 400 mA, 1/10 sec, 40 mAs, 80 kVp, 50” SID, 12” OID, 8:1 grid ratio, 0.6 mm focal spot and 2.5 mm of filtration, with an 8 x 10 inch field size, and the technologist changes the SID to 60 inches for a second exposure without changing any other factors, what differences would you expect to see in the second exposure?1) Increased IR exposure2) Decreased IR exposure3) Increased contrast4) Decreased contrast5) Increased spatial resolution6) Decreased spatial resolution7) Increased distortion8) Decreased distortion

To calculate SOD:

If an x-ray beam has an intensity of 1.2 mGy at 60 inches, what is the intensity of the beam 40 inches?

An x-ray exposure is made using 96 kilovoltage peak (kVp) and 3 milliamperage (mA)s. What new technique will result in the greatest increase in receptor exposure?

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:
