Which of the following projections of the skull would result in elongation of the anatomy being imaged?

Technical factors that are considered “geometric” include                           1. focal spot selection                           2. SID                           3. grid ratio                           4. filtration thickness                           5. OID                           6. tube angulation                           7. part thickness                           8. receptor resolution

A radiograph acquired at 60 kilovoltage peak (kVp) results in an underexposed image. What new kVp setting will double the receptor exposure?

Scattered radiation that hits the image receptor produces:

A satisfactory x-ray of the wrist is produced using a technique of 300 milliamperes (mA), 15 milliseconds, 50 kilovoltage peak (kVp), and a source-to-image distance (SID) of 40 inches. How should the mA be changed if the exposure time is decreased to 10 milliseconds?

If the same exposure factors are used on four different radiographs and all that is changed is the SID, which radiograph would have the greatest IR exposure? The one taken at a:

If the radiograph is taken using beam position 1, which part would appear on the left side of the image?

When changing your SID from 72” to 56”

The thickness of absorbing material necessary to reduce the x-ray intensity to half of the original value is called:

Which one of these types of filters is sometimes shaped like a wedge?
