Which source-to-image distance will demonstrate the highest receptor exposure?

A radiographer has the choice of multiple radiographic systems, each using a different actual focal spot size. Which system should be used if maximum heat dissipation is required?

Which kVp selection would produce the greatest relative percentage of scattered radiation?

The distance between the anatomy being imaged and the focal spot is called:

The location in space where all the lines extended from the lead strips meet is the:

A radiograph is acquired using 120 kilovoltage peak (kVp), a 16:1 grid, 72 inch source-to-image distance (SID), 500 milliamperes (mA), and using automated exposure control (AEC). How could these settings be changed to increase the radiographic contrast?
