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

The most easily adjusted radiographic beam-restricting device is the:

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

Which of the following factors affect beam quantity?

If an initial exposure is made using 800 mA, 0.02 sec, 16 mAs, 70 kVp, 58” SID, 4” OID, 5:1 grid ratio, 0.2 mm focal spot and 3.0 mm of filtration, with a 14 x 17 in field size, and the technologist changes the SID to 40” 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

If an initial exposure is made using 800 mA, 0.02 sec, 16 mAs, 70 kVp, 58” SID, 4” OID, 5:1 grid ratio, 0.2 mm focal spot and 3.0 mm of filtration, with a 14 x 17 in field size, and the technologist changes the filtration to 2.5 mm Al 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

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 image is 6 inches wide and the object is 4.5 inches wide, what is the percent magnification?

If an initial exposure is made using 800 mA, 0.02 sec, 16 mAs, 70 kVp, 58” SID, 4” OID, 5:1 grid ratio, 0.2 mm focal spot and 3.0 mm of filtration, with a 14 x 17 in field size, and the technologist changes the OID to 8” 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

Elongation of a radiographic image will most likely occur from a/an:
